As long as the user has enough information in the selection list, this should work with a little help from some code in InteractiveChange method of the combo. Make sure you have a column in the combo that contains a unique reference to the record selected. In the InteractiveChange, use that value to move the record pointer in the table or view, then refresh the form.
