>>Combobox, setup with builder, keeps pick list values (one column) fine but not keyboard entered data, it just won't retain. Has to be something simple as all combobox documentation suggests you can keyboard or pick from the list.

>>As the others have said, if you type in a value that is not in the combo's internal list, you must take specific action in the combo's Valid() to add the new value to the list. How you do this depends on the RowSOurceType of the combo. For example, with a RowSOurceType of 2-Alias ot 6-Fields, you need to add the record to the underlying cursor and then reuqery the combo like so:
>>

>>IF NOT EMPTY( This.DisplayValue ) AND This.ListIndex = 0
>>  *** The user typed in something that is not in the combo's
>>  *** list. Take action here to add the entry
>>  INSERT INTO SomeTable ( SomeField ) VALUES (This.DisplayValue )
>>  This.Requery()
>>ENDIF
