Thanx DJ The only reason is that How can I have a combo made up of the field itself? In other words it seems quite wierd to have a field like Full_Name being presented in a combo manner showing not even a single entry at the first records. Having a code to record new entry be added to the combo box everytime. However, in case of a case being repeated, presenting only the unique names only once? -- Thanx & Best Regards, Faraz!
