Different Combobox Behavior

Author: Jeff Johnson

I have customers that use a combobox to enter quite a few things. I was

asked it they could have the combobox to select an item in the lookup

table, but be able to enter something in the combobox that is saved to

the file without adding it to the lookup table.

For example, the combobox currently is basically a drop down list. If I

change it to a combobox the usual behavior is to give the user the

option to add it to the lookup table.

I want to be able to add it to the file but not add it to the lookup

table and when I return to that record, the user entered information

comes up even though it is not in the record source.

For my applications this would be the preferred behavior but I have not

seen it anywhere. Even Quickbooks requires you to add and account or

vendor to the lookup table before continuing.
