Ok. There are two things:
1. Combobox is never blank if you initialized it right.
2. I posted already that it's better to collect 'Save' code under 'Save' button. If you want to give a user a hint to enter, you could Setfocus() from Save.Click or just make some Combobox.ToolTipText, use different label, color, etc.
It always depends on personal taste.
