When I have the combobox in style 0 (Dropdown Combo mode) and the user enters data that is not in the dropdown list, it seems to not update the control source variable. I can manually update it with m.XXX=this.text and it will save the text, but when I recall the record, the combobox is empty even though the control source variable has the user data. Is there a trick to get the combobox to display the text from the control source variable when it is not in the dropdown list?
