That's exactly what picklists are for.  Unfortunately there appear to be a
few bugs with the latest JdbComboBox from borland (I was able to find a few
mistakes digging through the source).  I've had luck with the JdbNavComboBox
and picklists but wasn't able to get JdbComboBox to work.

I resorted to throwing together a data aware JComboBox class to meet my
picklist needs.  If the JdbNavComboBox doesn't work out for you I'd be happy
to share the code I've got with you.
