me.text1.value = me.mycombo.listindex + 1

otherwise I was getting the wrong employee.

What are you using to restore to select the correct employee again? I noticed that the ListIndex property is read-only (I am used to VB where you can change it)

Whatever you are using, try saving it without adding 1 and setting it back to the saved value + 1.


I am using:

Me!MyCombo.Value = Me.Text1.Value

to restore the employee.
