Hi Ed.

>> Also, code can be modified to work with BoundColumn=2 or three :-). <<

Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you weren't aware of this. I just wanted to point it out in case there were others looking at this thread who didn't. FWIW, this is why I generally use a check something like:

If !EMPTY( This.DisplayValue ) AND This.ListIndex = 0
   *** The user typed something in that wasn't in the list
   *** Take action here to add it to the list
ENDIF

It works no matter what the bound column happens to be.
