Combo box contents not updating

[Stapes]

Hi
I have one form open which uses a combo box to display an Items name
where the record holds just its key. I am opening another form and
adding new items. I requery the first screen afterwards, but on return
to the first screen, the new items name is not displayed. I assume the
combo box does not update itself with the new contents. Can I just
requery the combo box source?

for example you have form1 which have the item and form2 wich have a
label let say that received value of : form1!cboItemName.value
so the label retreive the value of the combobox of form1 so if form1
close what his value equal to .... the answer is nothing so empty the
value of the label. If you really have to close the previous form i
suggest 1 easy way, on the button to load the form2 go edit the code
and add code after the docmd.openform ....
to give value of the form label the one of the current combobox. like:
docmd.openform form2
form2.lblLabelItem = form1.cboItem
