Hi,

A ComboBox lists entries from a related table ("Clients" in this case). In a different form, a new client is added. The new client should be selected in the first form. I managed to get the correct client selected - but it doesn't display correctly, until I exit the form and run it again. The ComboBox somehow isn't aware of the new record.

The ComboBox properties are:
RowSource = "Client.Name, City, ..."
RowSourceType = 6 - Fields

How can I force the ComboBox to refresh? Should I use a query instead of a list of fields instead; or what would the best strategy be?

TIA,

Hilmar.
