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
