Hello,

I'm attempting to retrieve data from 2 picklists (Account table, Industry field; and Event table, ShowAs table) from the salesforce data and display in a flex application.
I'm able to retrieve data from one picklist and display in a combo box without any problem. The problem I'm having occurs when I attempt to retrieve data from another picklist and display in a 2nd combo box.

I'd really appreciate it if someone were to let me know if I'm approaching this the wrong way, and/or I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance for any help you have to offer.

Regards,

Errol
