Jill,

I have an Edit and Add New in my right-click menu of the controlbox, which both go to a edit form of the underlying table. I also have a shortcut-key to a more advanced selection form (searching on more fields then just the first one in the combobox) where the user can add a new one or edit one.

Regards,
Frank
