I have a combo box that searches for records in the database. When a
name is typed in that is not in the database, Access shows a message
box that says,
The test you entered isn't an item in the list.
with an "OK" button.
Is there a way to get it to clear the text that has been typed in, or
highlight it when the "OK" button is clicked?
Thanks for any help

Yes, use the NotInList event of the combo box.
Example:
Msgbox "You typed an item that isn't in the list. Please try again."
Response = acDataErrContin ue
Me.cboMyCombo = Null

Thank you so much. I've been beating my head against the wall and I
doubt if I would have ever figured that out.
Is there a way to get the message box to center on the form rather
than the screen?

Not that I know of. Instead of a MsgBox, you could create a form that looks
like a message box and place it where you want it. If you do, open this form
with the acDialog window mode argument of the DoCmd.OpenForm call.

Thanks again for the help. I think I'll leave it this way. I like
the way it works and "Enter" closes the box.

Hello,
I have a form and a combo box that I use to filter the form to particular records. I also have an "add new" button that, when clicked, adds a new record. My problem is that the filter combo box stays on the old selection when the new record pops up. I would like to have the combo box clear or set to a default value of "New" when the Add New button is clicked or when the user clicks on the * (new record) button in the navigation bar.

I am using a form to sort a report, but I can't seem to get the "clear form" button to work. I used the wizard when I installed the button, using the clear form option under the form option list. What I want to be able to do is clear the information on the drop down combo box in case I want to change the sort order. This is what the code looks like now:

Hi - I have a field on a form that is required. It's in a combo box. The combo box is set to Limit to List. Sometimes a user comes into the field and starts typing into the field to locate their record. But the record doesn't exist. So they backspace over the data they entered and try to leave the field (to go hit a button to add the record they need) and they get a message saying the field is required and can't be null.
