populating a combobox automatically

hi
i have a screen with customer details on it. for some items i only want to
make a combobox available. eg. country - this will hold a defined list of
countries. my question is how i set up the datasource etc. on this combo. of
course when opening the screen i want the existing value for this customer to
be shown, eg. UK. but the actual source values of the combo should come from
another table - eg. the countries table. i'd like all of this to be done
automatically by setting up the relevant dataset etc.
i'm a little confused on how to go about this so any help appreciated.
rgds,
barry

I'm looking for thoughts on the "correct" design for this problem (DotNet 2.0 - in winforms, but that's not so important). I've got two combo boxes (combo1 and combo2), both are populating via database calls (using a separate DB handler class). "combo1" contains a list of countries and is fairly static, it can be added to but no other...
