In design mode, set the visible property of the text box to No.
In the After Update event of the combo box for code (IF/THEN/ELSE) to determine if the text box should be made visible.

You'll also need to have code, like that in the AfterUpdate event of the Combobox, in the Form_Current event to set the the Visibility of the Textbox, so that it will be Record-appropriate as you move from Record to Record.
