You can put some code in the INIT Event of your Forms with the Combo Box
table should be opened before calling this code..

With thisform
    .combo1.rowsource = "Your_table_name.unique_field,narrative"
    .combo1.rowsourcetype = 6
Endwith

Hope this one can help...

If you want to put your selected records from the form with the grid into your first form and make that record as the record that appear to your combo box, you need to put some code in the control that get the focus when returns back to your first form..

With thisform
   .combo1.rowsource = "" && you need to clear out rowsource first
   .combo1.rowsourcetype = 0 && none
   .combo1.additem(cVar1)
   .combo1.additem(cvar2)
ENDWITH

After you finish selecting the record from additem, you must put back the rowsource of your combo box bound to a table somewhere else in your first form.

Note: Put some validation so that it will not additem to your combo box the next time that control got the focus...
