Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Does anyone know how to execute program changes on the MPC2000 (XL)?

My MPC is loaded with programs assigned to Drums 1-4. I have the MPC slaved to either Digital Performer or Ableton Live. But whenever I send a Program Change from the DAW the MPC resets to "NewPgmA" (i.e., and empty program) instead of one the programs I've assigned. I've been using the MPC-Computer relationship for months now and everything is working perfectly in terms of MIDI communication between the two machines. This is just the one anomaly that I can't crack.

I simply would like to automate my program changes. Any suggestions? Thank you.

i'm sorry but i have to ask:
did you give each program a 'midi program change' number ?

( select program --> open window )

Ah, thank you. I had a sense that it would turn out to be some trivial detail that I was overlooking. I appreciate your help.
