>I have created a combobox based on a single field table. If the user types in a value not in the table they are prompted to add it to the list. If the user selects Yes, then the .DisplayValue is INSERTed into the combobox's source table and REPLACEd in the current record and then a THISFORM.Refresh is issued. This works fine as the new choice is available in the combobox but the value the user typed in dissappears from the screen. Any ideas?

Colin,

I hope you get better answers than I did when I had a similar problem recently. To be honest, I'm not sure how I solved it, but I did. Although the subject of your post is .Value disappears, I'm assuming that .Value is kept where .DisplayValue disappears, am I assuming correctly?

If I am, this is what I concluded: It appears, and my perception could be wrong, that there is some issue with updating the DisplayValue after a requery to ensure that both the Value and DisplayValue are kept.

Try this right before your form refresh:
luValue = THIS.DisplayValue
THIS.requery()
THIS.DisplayValue = luValue

It might work.
