How do I find what was selected from a poplist?

I'm thinking I didn't convey my request properly so I'll try again :

I've created a poplist based on a dynamic record group. When the user selects an item from the poplist drop-down box, I want to know what item they've selected.  

I tried this :  

     vNewReason := :Reason.Reason_Drop_Down;

Where Reason is the block and Reason_Drop_Down is the name of the item in the block (the poplist)  

and this returned the selected value the majority of the time. But if I went back & reselected, the value in vNewReason wouldn't always be set correctly.

Because this isn't always working, I am thinking that I need to evaluate the value in another way (perhaps using the get_group_xxxx functions?) Is this correct?

I'm using Forms 4.5, Developer 2000 1.somethingorother for Windows on a Win95 workstation against an Oracle 7.1.5.2.3 database.

Thank you.
