My client wants to enter a value in a cbo that is not in the rowsource list, ...and not have it in the list in the future. So far the bahavior I'm seeing is you lose the value when the cbo loses focus. I assume because the value is not in the list. I also have continual headaches getting displayvalue or value to show up at init time. Where is the best place to set the value for displayvalue and value at runtime so it will be there when the form is open?
