Because you obviously don't know much about Access... I'm not trying to stomp on you, but you are just making yourself look foolish with comments like this. Access has a LimitToList property for combo-boxes, a property of which you are apparently not aware. If you set it to "Yes" then you will not be able to enter anything other than what is in the list. It works and to the best of my knowledge always has worked just as it was intended to.
