Mary-Ann,

For a combo with alias as the rowsourcetype it is NOT necessary to seek the value in the alias, the combo moves the record pointer in the alias automatically.

You could simply call the textbox's Refresh method from the combobox and then requery things in the textbox's Refresh. Or if you wan the textbox to requery for the user typing and when the combo has an affect, you put the requrey code in the textbox's InteractiveChange and call the InteractiveChange from the Refresh.
