Today's problem is - my combo box works great until it comes across a name
with an apostrophe, such as Bill's Bike Shop. I'm sure this is very common
problem and I'm sure the work around is very simple. But danged if I can
find it. Thanks for your help.

Rebecca,
It's easier to 'fix' if you post your exact combo box RowSource SQL.

The Row Source is tblCommercialMembers and event is:
Private Sub cboCompanyName_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
With Me
.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[CompanyName] = '" & Me![cboCompanyName]
& "'"
.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
End With

The apostrophe is a string terminator. So it would try to FindFirst
CompanyName = 'Bill'
You have to double up on those characters, for example with the
Replace function:
..RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[CompanyName] = '" &
Replace(Me![cboCompanyName],"'", "''")
& "'"

Better still:
Make your combobox a 2-column dropdown, with a hidden CustomerID, and
then search by that number.

In addition to Tom's comments, this too will work:
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[CompanyName] = """ & Me![cboCompanyName]
& """"
as will this:
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[CompanyName] = " & chr(34) &
Me![cboCompanyName] & chr(34)
But his suggestion of searching by CompanyID is best.
