Inputting Text into a Bound Dropdown Control Help.

I have a bound dropdown box. It is bound as follows:

Rowsource - bound to ADODC Control
ListField - to field
BoundColumn - to field

I need this to stay as is, however on a certain condition I have to fill it with text that is not in my bound rowsource. I am trying just saying control.text but its not filling it. I also tried control.boundtext.

I tried setting the Rowsource = "" and I got an error. Any help please.

is this in VB6 or MS Access VBA? There is a SIGNIFICANT difference.

The problem is I need this as a Dropdown list. I add the items with the loop and then I want to based on a selection from a dropdown list above it fill this dropdown list with this items as well and have it selected.

So, you have 2 comboboxes say cboState and cboCity and cboCity is pre-populated but when cboState has an entry selected you want it to add (but not remove the existing - at least in the eyes of the user) new choices to cboCity? Just thought I'd clarify before offereing answer...

Yes Robert and then I want that value selected in the dropdown list.
