Hi Robin.

>> When a user adds a new item to a combobox, I want to call another form, allow the user to add the new details on the new form & save them. <<

The easiest way to determine whether the user added a new item to the combo, is in the combo's Valid like so:

WITH This
   IF .ListIndex = 0 AND !EMPTY( .DisplayValue )
      *** Enter data in the called form and return the new value for the combo box
      DO FORM MyOthetForm TO luComboBoxValue
      .Requery()
      .Value = luComboBoxValue
ENDIF

You want to make sure that MyOtherForm has its WindowType set to 1-Modal and that it is using the default data session. That way, if the calling form is using a private data session, the called form can "share" its data.

>> I then want to return to the original form, and continue to the the next field on my form. <<

This is the problem. You cannot issue a SetFocus() from the Valid() of a control. However, when you release the modal form, focus will return to the combo box. Isn't this good enough?
