Is it possible to incorporate a Combo Box in a form that allows users to select existing data (I know that is possible) but type in a new value that is not found in the list?

Thanks.

You can add code to the combo box's Not In List event that can add a new record, or whatever.

You can find this in the Access Help under "NotInList Event".

Good luck. Anthony J. DeSalvo
