You can display values not in array only? if ControlSource property is not set.
You can use Refresh method of Combo to set its value from table when record is changed.

>I have a combo box whose values are loaded from an array. The array, of course, contains the legal selections for the value of the field related to the combo box. The problem is that valid items tend to change over time and, while I only want the user to be able to select items in the array, I want to display the value of the field from the older records which contain values no longer in the array. Unfortunately, the combo displays a blank when the value from the record is not in the array.
