Apparently the combobox is bound to the CUSTOMER datafield in the
datasource => the customer name field in the customers table.
If you move down the grid, that is also linked to the datasource, the
combobox value changes because the bound field changes.
No idea what this dbcombobox is for... but my Delphi experience is near
zero and imagination has not yet been too coffee-fuelled yet.

Try seeing if a DBLookupCombobox does what you want: it should let you
select a value out of another table and insert that into the field bound
to the dblookupcombobox.
