[RESOLVED] Combo box won't save changes

I have a combo box that I can delete and add items using a command button, however when I run the program the next time the changes are gone.

Since I have to ask here for help i will go all out and ask how I can have a new item typed directly into the combo box and have the combo box check to see if there is a duplicate name, if no then automatically add it.

I will put a delete button next to it with this code

Combo1.RemoveItem Combo1.ListIndex

However I need it to save the changes. So far it won't

How are you populating the combo box? If it is from a database you need to make the changes there or whereever your getting the values from.

The program won't save anything. Those value have to be saved to an external file (like a database) and then read in each time your program runs.

I'd recommend trying this one to learn working with databases:

It requires an Office Access 2003 Database
It helped me a lot! just copy all the code into a new project, and test it. That way you can ajust it to whatever suits your needs.

Good Luck

Thank you

That makes sense now, I know what to do
