how do I correct on not in list

[Guest]

My combo box does not allow entry in a column. I get a not in list error
message. I have set the not on list to "no" but that does not work

sounds like you're doing your data entry in a table, using a Lookup field.
if so, suggest that you 1) remove the Lookup field from the table; see
http://home.att.net/~california.db/tips.html#aTip8 for more info, and 2) use
a form for data entry, where you can create a combo box control to provide a
list of choices for a field, and can control the combo box's behavior via
property settings and VBA code.
