>Well, I want the choice to appear in the control after the user makes his/her selection. I also need the ability to let them type a value in if it's not in the list.

The way I've done this is to check if the item is in the list in Valid (after the user enters a value) and Refresh (to see if the initial value--i.e. .ControlSource--is in the list). If it's not, I add it.

>I've heard that VB allows it, I just don't see why MS does that kind of stuff.

The problem is that VFP doesn' t use Windows controls.
