    Best way to add new record using form?

    I have a combo box on a form that reads its possible selections from a table. The bound column however is the primary key, not the value that's displayed. So I can't just turn LimitToList property to No.



    I basically want the user to have the ability to add a new record to this table if an entry is not in the existing list.

    May I know what is the best way to do this?

    Thanks.
