Ok, so the properties of my combobox are as follows:

Control Source: m.customer (I'm not buffering directly to a table, but APPENDING BLANK etc from the save button of my form)

Name: CmbCCustomer

Row Source: select * from customers into cursor tmpcustomers order by customer readwrite

Row Source Type: 3 SQL Statement

Style: 2 Dropdown List

in my CUSTOMERADD form I'm doing the following: (some of which is probably not needed):

IF !SEEK(ALLTRIM(thisform.txtCCode.Value),"customers","customer")
 INSERT INTO customers (customer,companyname) VALUES (thisform.txtCCode.Value,thisform.txtCCompanyName.Value)
 INSERT INTO tmpcustomers (customer,companyname) VALUES (thisform.txtCCode.Value,thisform.txtCCompanyName.Value)
ENDIF
thisform.Release

Maybe just adding into the CUSTOMERS file & then requerying the combo would be better than adding into my cursor for the combo ?
