Adding Item to Combobox: Question

[andrey_anikin]

Hi All,

I have a small issue with a combobox. It is located on a reminder setup form and is intended to keep e-mail addresses that have been used in the past. I am tryin to achieve that by just adding values to its recordsource in the NotInList event handler. The issue is in the following: if I set the AllowValueEditLists property of the combobox to True, it displays the list change dialog when I type in something new - this I don't want to have, would like to just silently add the new item to the list. And if I disable AllowValueEditLists, the thing just won't add anything to the list of values.

Please give me a hint as to how I can bypass that.

Arre you using A2007?

Yes, 2007.

I thought so, because I did not recognise the properties you indicated. Hopefully A2007 users can step in here.

Why dont you base your combo on a table and add new value to that table on the Not in List event

That's another easy option; I just thought that adding a thing to the value list would be the easiest way to achieve what I need. Obviously, will need to resort to the table-based combobox variant.
