I call the Requery in the Valid event. The array shows the value added. I even do ASORT and it puts it in the right order.
The display goes blank when I leave the control (after the valid).

>>I've been struggling with this all day. I've got a combo box that holds a list of freight carriers. If a freight carrier is listed, that's fine, they can select it. However, if the carrier is not in the list, they are allowed to type the name in. I have a ControlSource set to an object's property, cCarrier. The RowSource is set to another property, aCarrier (an array, 'natch). RowSourceType is 5-Array.
