Hi,

I am trying to create a Combobox control in VFP linked to a specific field
in a table. The Rowsource for the Combobox is ARRAY with 10 predefined
values. However, I want the user to be able to type in other values into
the combobox if they need to enter values other than the 10 predefined
values. If the table field contains a value other than the 10 predefined
values, the combobox just shows blank. Maybe I am misunderstanding but
isn't the purpose of the combobox to be able to use predefined as well as
user defined values?

Thanks

As Mark said, you can add new values to your combo.RowSource
at runtime dynamically, e.g. in pseudo code
If This.Value <> This.DisplayValue
Dimension yourArray[ALen(yourArray)+1]
Store (This.Value) To yourArray[ALen(yourArray)]

You'll probably find some complete code snippets via
