I've just started a new job and have been asked to update a company database on access. I've only used it for very basic topics before.

Here is what I need to do:

In one form there is an option to input insurance company names. I need a list box listing the most regular ones used but sometimes an odd insurance company will be used that is different from the regular.

So a list box that I can choose from but also type in.

This option in the form has been linked to other tables.

Please help

You want to use a Combo box of this. You can create your combo box using the Wizard and the article below will tell you how to use the Not In List event to add new companies to the combo box....
