Hi, I'd like to make updates to our existing database. Currently: Multiple users have their front end that they use to add or edit records. Each record has a unique ID that is labelled as: ABC-MMDDYY-XX. ABC is constant (does not change). MMDDYY - is the date the record is created XX - is...

Thanks for all the suggestions and help. - I've tried deleting the old combobox and adding a new combobox -> did not work - I tried doing a blank form, brand new "temporary" database with just the fields I care about for this purpose. Same result. If the suggestion is to not use the multi...
