I am getting the same error with my Source Fields that are set to ValueSelection of dropdown. Can you clarify on what you mean by "link to the table that is providing the drop down list." Isn't the link setup through binding the Column and in turn binging the Entity from the DSV? I have some Entities that go against Named Queries and others that hit a table in the DSV...this does not seem to make a difference.

Maybe the answer is in your statement "sql view port and see if it is linked in." Please help direct me to where to check this.

Thanks
