Combobox Question

I have a combobox on my windows form. It is populated from the "staff"
table which has a StaffID and StaffName.

The code is:

cmbStaff.DataSource = objDataset.Tables("Staff")
cmbStaff.DisplayMember = "StaffName"
cmbStaff.ValueMember = "StaffID"

When I query my contact database how can I make sure that the StaffID value
points to the correct record in the combobox?

I checked the properties of the combobox and can't find the right way to
associate StaffID to StaffName.

HELP PLEASE.

Thanks,

Gary
