My suspicion, and only that at this point, is that you're using bound controls and that's what's causing your problem. A bound control is any one that has a value in the
.ControlSource property that specifies a field from the form's recordset (That which the form is bound to via
its .RecordSource property).

Also, how does one make unbound comboboxes...?
To convert a bound control to an unbound control it is simply necessary to remove any value from the
.ControlSource property. What this means in a practical sense is that whenever a new value is entered into, or selected from, this control it will have no effect on any existing data. IE. No changes will be made to data through changing or selecting any values in this control.

Very sorry...
Please don't be. Not knowing all the details is where we all start from. It's a sensible starting position. It's where we go from there that matters - and even then only if it's a subject we're interested in.
