Question

I have a combobox in a form and a button.
I want to add values to the combobox upon a click.
For example:
In the combobox there are 1,2,3,4 values present. I want to add 5 upon a button click.

I am not sure how to do this.

Answer 1

I like to use queries or tables as row sources.
In this case, I would just create a table with one column and set that as the row source for the combo box.

Now I can edit the data in the table at run-time as I like (delete some values, insert new values, copy values from other tables with a single query…) and when I’m done, I just call Combo1.Requery.

With this solution, the added values don’t disappear after closing and reopening the form (not even after closing and reopening Access!), because the values are stored in a table in the Access database.
