>>>If you are using a combobox that is bound to a field and you type something in the combobox, where does that value appear? When I look at the value property it is always "" unless I select an item from the list. I need to be able to either choose an item from the list or type in my own item (isn't that the definition of a combo-box?)

Because, you have to care about row soucre programmatically:
*** Combo.Lostfocus event
IF This.value<>This.DisplayValue
*** add displayvalue to row source (or directly to field) here
