Not In List - Add Item with 2 data fields

Asked by Ludique in Access Forms, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: ,

My Order form has a combobox called cboOrderStatusID.  
The underlying table has 3 fields OrderStatusID, OrderStatus and OrderStatusType.

If the Order Status entered is not in the list, the attached code allows the user to add a new item.  However, I would also like them to enter the OrderStatusType (which can be "Completed", "Processing" or "Not Started" - ideally they should be able to select one of these without typing it in full - perhaps from a list box.

Normally, where other fields must be completed when a new item is added, I create a popup form to enter all the details.  However, in this case it seems a bit cumbersome.

Is there another way?
