Help - Drop Down Combo

Hello All,

Want to use a DropDownCombo where a user can pick from the list OR
enter a non-listed item - however, I DO NOT want to "Allow Updates" to
the original list (similar to Microsoft Access functionality).

Currently, allows for a non-listed entry, but blanks the field when
form saved. Is there a simple way to do this, or any other
suggestions?

Thanks,

Manny

Hi Manny,

I'm not sure I understand what you want to do. If you don't allow
updates, then the 'non-listed' item is never stored anywhere.

Access as far as I know adds the item to the table. It just doesn't
call up a separate form to do it.

Thanks for your post C.

What I want to do is load "MyFile:Variable1" with listed or typed-in
data. However, I do not want to save the typed-in data permanently to
the list. Thanks again for your help!

Hi Manny,

If I am understanding what you are saying, then you should create a
local variable to hold the chosen or typed in data, then display the
local variable.
