Hello everyone!!! Thanks in advance for any help/ insight that you can offer.

Here's my issue:

Say you have a combo box that gets its list items from a sequential file. The user enters a word that is NOT in the list. What type of event and what criteria do I use to find out that the word is NOT in the list.

IE
the combo box says: 'Apple' 'Orange' 'Pear'
the user enters: 'Grape'

Private Sub cboFruit_?()

If cboFruit.Text <> 'what's in the combo box' Then
......
End If


Again, what type of event should be used and what is the criteria that needs to be used to compare the list to what the user enters?
