Entry Type is a somewhat complex field, because it depends on the registry values that define valid journal entry types. What you may have to do is add an unbound combo box to the form, populate it with the valid journal entry type names from the registry, set an initial selection (and an initial value for the Entry Type field), and use the combo box's Click event to change the Entry Type as the user works with that control.
