Customization Strangeness

I got excited for a bit b/c changing "retrieve on activate" to false stopped the dropdown from being readonly. However, now the dropdown doesn't work (i.e. doesn't display any values for the user to select).

This dropdown is filtered by two other fields on my screen.

LOL! that's what I'm about to say!!!

OK after taking everyone's input and hitting this again, I got a tiny step further but it's still not working.

I disabled the dropdown in the Cust Tools Dialog, and wrote script that enables/disables the dropdown in regards to 2 UD fields being NULL or not. My idea was if the screen thinks it should be disabled all the time, then I'll force it to enable/disable to get around it.

Result: It worked the first time, but went back to being readonly
after closing/opening again: didn't work. Went and checked to Cust
Tools Dialog and found that Epicor switched it back to being Enabled.

So then I created a Load event that Disabled the dropdown.

Result: It works... but not really. Get this, BEFORE loading any customers into the screen, I navigate to the tab that this dropdown is located. There I see that it is disabled. Then, I load a customer and navigate back and the dropdown WORKS. If I load the Customer Maintenance screen, load a customer, and navigate to the dropdown... it's read only...

So it works, but the users would have to go to the tab where the dropdown is located each time before loading a customer... which is ridiculous. I also need to add, that the tab that this dropdown is located in is a Customized tab that I added with the Sheet Wizard
(could this be the smoking gun?).

This dropdown is about to become a search button... just REAL frustrating! This doesn't make sense to me.

Everyone is awesome on here though! Thanks for all your help!
