Hi Richard,

It sounds like you want to look at the style property for the combo box. If it is set to zero, it should do what you want. If it is set to 2 then it will only allow the user to select from the list.

HTH

>I would like to have a combobox which allows selection from the list or custom entry on a value - I would like this custom value to be displayed and stored to the controlsource - but Not added to the permanent list. I am populating the list with a field from a table - rowsource type =6. What do I need to do?
