Author Powerbuilder / Infomaker Drop Down Issue

Hello,

I would really appreciate help with this problem I am having with
PB/Infomaker.

Here is the scenario:
We have an application written in PB. We create custom reports for some
of our clients and we use Infomaker to do this.

I created an Infomaker form (criteria.psr) to enter criteria for the
report. On this form are three edit fields of type DropDownDW. The
datawindows used for these Infomaker form drop downs are actually from
a Powerbuilder pbl. The only way I could define these Drop Downs in
Infomaker was to add the PBD containing the data window objects to the
Infomaker LibList. Then I was able to select the proper datawindow and
select the Display Column and Data Column.

When running the PB application, this criteria form, (as well as a
report form that uses this criteria), is set as the dataobject of
datawindow controls. The Criteria form that I created opens up fine in
the PB application, BUT, the drop downs are empty.

Can someone please tell me what I am missing? Why aren't these
dropdowns populating?

The previous developer here was able to get this to work but I have no
idea how. I took over for this person and I can't get this to work.

Many thanks,

Rodney
