Yes, I know this but your code, to me, seems to be inserting a value into the look-up table without first checking whether or not it already exists. Unless the fact that the value was ALLOWED to be entered (and wasn't autofound in the list as you typed) means that it doesn't exist. But, then again, it wouldn't check for case, would it?

Far be it from me to challenge your code, Sergey; I'm just intrigued as to how it works. As I said in my 1st reply to Dmitry, I've never used a combo in this manner before.

>>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 :-)
