Hiten,

Did you see my other post to you on this?

The combo will only save what the user enters if it's in the list the the rowsource specifies. If they enter something that is not in the result set of you SQL it's no going to get saved.

You need to add what the user entered to the underlying table the SQL draws from and requery.

A much simpler alternative is to dl Mark M's combobox from the file area and use that. It's already done. Quit pulling your hair out. A 5 second download, and 5 minutes of looking at the class and your problem is solved.
