combo box

[Guest]

I set up a combo box and programmed it to accept new words when in the form
view if a word is not in the current list. The new word will stay in the
combo box if you go to another record but when the form is closed then the
word disappears also.

Does anyone know how to save the word to the combo box?

Hi,
you wouldn't actually save the value to the combobox, but to the underlying
datasource. Most likely the combo is based on a table, or should be, so if
you want users to be able to add values at some point you should pay
attention to the comboboxe's NotInList event.
You can find a great tutorial on how to handle this here:

This should get you started.

Good luck
