Richard,

Thanks as always for your help.  This should work just fine for my puposes.  The combobox.requery is something I don't remember seeing yet, just the refresh and requery forms which I have used a lot.  Again thanks for your help.

Reply from Richard Rost:

You can requery the list of items in a combobox or listbox by saying:

Forms!FormName!ComboBoxName.REQUERY

I sometimes create a quick data entry form - like just name and email or whatever essential items you need. You can even make that a MODAL, POPUP window so the user HAS to type in data or cancel it. Then, in that little form's ONCLOSE event run your REQUERY event for the combo box.

Works like a champ. You know what... I'm just getting ready to record Access lessons for today, so I'll take a few minutes and make this into a short TIP video for you. Give me a couple hours. :)
