Thanks Pat that is an approach I had not thought of but would certainly solve my problem.

I am attempting to create a list of selected names from an MS Access database but do not want to edit the database. I am trying to use a combo box field in a subform list to select the names I want in a similar way to entering lists of bound names.
The problem I have is that unlike a bound list where a new record row becomes available immediately a record is created, I seem to be unable to get past the first entry as a new row is not created...
