Limit to List - Combo Box

[Infocore]

I have a form that is set up with a few combo boxes. They are all set
as "Limit to List" true. This works fine for when a user is doing
data entry on the form. The problem I have is that some data is
loaded behind the scenes and the values don't always match up.

I'm looking for a way to test these values when the user works with
the particular record.

This validation could be done on click of a command button on screen.
I already have a save button that does other validation. I was hoping
that if a user entered the field and left it, it would trigger the
"Not in list" event but it does not.

Any ideas?

The Not In List event only fires when a user types in a value that is not in
the combo's list of items and then only if the Limit To List property is set
to Yes.

There are only two things you can do.
1. Write some logic to add the item to the list and continue on
2. Ignore the error and select an item from the list. You can allow the
user to continue without putting anything in the control.
