If the combo is bound, I couldn't change the value. So how could I allow changes to the combobox?
Hi. A bound control is simply one whose control source is a field on the underlying query or table for your form. Changes made to bound controls cause changes to the underlying field of the table, as long as (1) the value entered is appropriate for that field, and (2) the control and the query or table are updatable.
The use of the combo box as such cannot itself cause an update issue, but returning a list value that does not match what the underlying field is set to take could do so.
You should check that your combo box is returning an appropriate value for the field to which it is bound as your first step. There are examples of the use of combo boxes in Microsoft's exemplar Northwind database which comes with Access.
