>So you are trying to show existing records in a combobox for a table that you also want to be able to add records to? Hmmm. This sounds awkward. Generally, a combobox is used to list values from other tables. Have you considered using a list or grid to show existing records?>

So after some toying, I figured out how to get the list box to display the existing records from my table called, oh lets say green. My idea for the combo box was the ability to type and search incrementally so the user doesnt have to type every piece of information. They can search for a match and then add the other field info from there. I thought I could then take the value presented in the combo box(es) and append them back into the table green. Or into a cursor database and then elsewhere in the code I could append those records into the table green.

Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this task?
thanks...
