Finally lick the combo box refresh problem

What is the trick to finally get a combo box that previously did not have a
value, to now reflect that value if it was added to a table behind the scenes
in VBA?

I thought I had it licked in 2003 by using cmbMyCombox.requery, but I'm
trying that same trick in 97 and not having any luck.

What are the key elements I need to have in place to always make sure that a
combobox shows a newly available record? (No matter what version of Access)
 
I don't know about ac97 but having:
Me.YourComboBoxName.Requery
in the GotFocus event of the ComboBox does it for me in ac2K2.

Requery has always been the way to do that.

Maybe you have some other factor that's different between
the two situations??

Please post your code. This should work fine in A97.
