unable to select from combobox.

[Robert Johnson]

Hi all. I have a combo box populated by tblPropMaster that writes to
tblInvoiceHdr. I can pull down the combo box and see the choices but cannot
select any. It just beeps and does nothing. Any ideas?

TIA

Robert

Is your form's Record Source a query? If so, if you open the query can you
edit the field that the combo box is bound to?

Is the combo box a multi-column box? If so, is the data type of the bound
column correct for the field you are trying to insert the data into?

Yes, if I open the query I can manualy type in new data. No, it is a single
field table and single column box.

You need to check the following:

* The AllowEdits Property of the ComboBox (Yes/True).
* The AllowAdditions / AllowEdits Prperty of the Form.
* The Recordset Type Property of the Form (should _not_ be "Snapshot").
