Stop "Not In List Error"
- Thread starter isorders
- Start date
Set the "Limit To List" property of the combo box to "No". To do this, go to design view on the form, select the combo box, select View, Properties from the menubar.
This will allow you to enter any value into the combo box - if this is what you want to do.
There are other more advanced ways of handling this sort of situation. If you're interested, check out the "On Not In List" event associated with the combo box. This provides more advanced program control of entries which are not in the list.
Hope this helps,
