Tabular form LOV's not populating correctly on edit from report

Question

My form has four LOV's and several text fields. Two of the LOV's will not populate (contains null value) from the report when i try to edit the row, however the other two Lov's populate correctly. Any ideas why i can't get the lov's to populate with the correct value from the report?
each LOV is set to display null value as -- choose value -- with no return value. when i click edit from the report the form (page 2) comes up with the corresponding values from the report, but as i stated two of the LOV's contain -- choose value -- instead of the correct value from the corresponding reports row. All four LOV's items are set exactly the same 2 being static and 2 dynamic; one of each not populating right.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I've not used popup lovs in tabular forms for a few years now, but if your using the apex_item's to generate your tab form then I think you need to allow an idx number for the pass back value. e.g. (I have left idx value 2 for the pass back value)
SELECT
APEX_ITEM.POPUPKEY_FROM_LOV (1,deptno,'DEPT') dt,
APEX_HIDDEN(3, EMPNO) en
FROM emp
I hope that helps
