Hi, again, David-

These durned combos, eh? :-)

If a user types something new into a combo control, then YOU are in charge of adding the new value to the combolist and underlying rowsource, too. It's not automatic.

I've always done it in the VALID. Here's an example:

*~~ 01.15.99 nf 1: Added  .AND. ASC( this.displayvalue ) > 30 to beat the erroneous entry of a non-printable character when
*~~				   the list is closed via the down arrow.
IF TRIM(this.value) <> TRIM(this.displayValue) .AND. !EMPTY( this.displayValue ) .AND. ASC( this.displayvalue ) >= 30
	*!* Then we have a new value to add to the list
	this.additem( this.displayValue )
	
	REPLACE ( SUBSTR( this.controlSource, AT( '.', this.controlSource ) + 1 ) ) WITH this.DisplayValue IN ;
	        ( SUBSTR( this.controlSource, 1, AT( '.', this.controlSource ) - 1 ) )
ELSE
	RETURN .T.
