Adding Data to a Combo Box During Execution in Microsoft Access

Welcome to this tutorial, where I will guide you on how to create a combo box that is readily updatable. I walk you through the process and demonstrate how to tweak a combo box's properties and turn it into a dynamic tool. The tutorial explains how to set up the combo box to "Limit to List," and then leverage the error this setting throws when encountering a new data entry. This error is then trapped using an event procedure, triggering a piece of code that adds the new data to the list.

By the end of the video, you will have learned how to make an updatable combo box that prompts the user to either add a new value or cancel the action, with a live demonstration. I also point you to external resources where you can find more information and use cases to further enhance your skills. So if you want to boost your combo box functionality, this video is for you.
