Marcia:

You solution was an answer to me as well. I made a slight adjustment to add color to the combo item if it is not in the list. Here is the code I used in the refreshdisplayvalue method.

local lcControlSource
	with this
		if !empty(.cControlSource)
			lcControlSource = .cControlSource
			.displayValue = &lcControlSource
			* If not in the list, display it in orange
			this.forecolor = iif(this.listitemid = 0, 32760, 0)
		endif
	endwith

Thanks again, Mike
