Hi Harry,

It sounds to me like you want an un-bound control. Remove the ControlSource, and add something like this to the refresh event of the ComboBox:

This.Value = MyTable.MyField

>Which property can we set which will still allow users to select whatever they want from a Combo but not to amend the result?

>The 'read only' doesn't hack it. It restricts the selections available, as well as the keys usable.
