The current value - This.Value.
The typed value - This.DisplayValue


>Please enlighten me. How does this check whether the input value already exists in the look-up, before deciding to write the new value to the table? As I read it, it only checks the current value of the combo. But then again, sometimes I'm dyslexic at reading others' code :-)

>>>Try

* Combo Valid
>>>IF NOT EMPTY( This.DisplayValue )  ;
>>>		AND NOT (ALLTRIM(This.DisplayValue) == ALLTRIM(This.Value))
>>>	INSERT INTO mytable VALUES (This.DisplayValue)
>>>	This.Value = This.DisplayValue
>>>	THIS.Requery()
>>>ENDIF
