hello guys, i need help with my java interface. it dooes save information to the database quite fine. this aved information is then used to populate a COMBOBOX from which i should be able to click on an item and remove it from the database and hence the combobox. the problem is it removes this info from the combobox just well but doesn't refresh the combobox in realtime and i have to run the application once more before i can see that my change has been effected. please help... thanks!

a few remarks:
1. a gui and an interface are not the same, you may want to choose your words a bit more clear
2. "it removes this info from the combobox just well but doesn't refresh the combobox in realtime" .... sooo .. it doesn't remove the item? can you be a bit more specific about what is going on here? I assume re-instantiating the combobox would do the trick.
3. help you with what exactly? you've given us a vague description of what is going on (and wrong) but you don't show us any code, so how can we be completely sure about what you are doing (wrong)?

No time to read the whole code now, but iut seems setcbo is called to update the cb after the delete, but in setcbo I can't see where you delete the original contents - mabe your updated stuff is just being added on the end?
