    Allow New Entries in a Combo Box

    I'm sorry if this has been asked already, I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

    I have a combo box that shows a list from a table. I want to be able to type a new value into the combo box, if the value doesn't already exist and have the new value be stored to the table. Is this possible?

    Thank you, in advance,
    Michael

    Search here on "notinlist", which should turn up the 2 basic methods of using the Not In List event of a combo to add values to the source table.
