Hi Pete,

Here is an example of what I have done to do this:

In the combobox .Valid Event for picking a Job Position or entering a new one

IF THIS.ListIndex=0 AND ALLTRIM(THIS.DisplayValue)#""  && The value isn't in the list and isn't blank
	?? CHR(7)
	mnadd=MESSAGEBOX("Do you wish to add this position type?",4+32+256,;
		ALLTRIM(THIS.DisplayValue)+" not found")   && Ask the user to add in case of typo's
	IF mnadd=6
		INSERT INTO Position (Position) ;
			VALUES (THIS.DisplayValue)   && Insert into source
		THIS.Requery
		THISFORM.rtgPageFrame1.Page1.Refresh
	ELSE
		THIS.DisplayValue=""
		THIS.Value=""
	ENDIF
ENDIF

HTH
