Change of text in combobox

R

Richard S.

The combobox displays a user-created (unique) title for the underlying table
row. The table has a primary key that is not visible to the user. The user
can select the desired record by selection in the dropdown list.

I want to enable a user to change the title in the combo box, but it rejects
the entry because it does not match an existing title, using it instead as a
parameter to find an existing entry.

How do I allow the user to change the title when it is visible in the combo
box?

Not really sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish here, but you can't
do this in the combobox. You'll have to use the selection form the combobox
as criteria and open a form to that record so the user can edit it.
