Error message on a combo box

I have a combo box on my form that is unbound. The lookup table has an
autonumber key and 2 text fields. Whenever the cursor enters the field, I
get the message "The value you entered isn't valid for this field". I can't
understand what's triggering this message, especially since the controlled is
unbound.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you sure there are no events programmed for the control like Got Focus?

Maybe even the control that just lost focus before going into the combo box
has code that is trying to populate it.. Try renameing it and then do a
Complie . If something is referencing it you should get a debug error if you
rename it and then compile.

Thanks for the tip, Alan. The field that just lost focus is also a combo box
so I'll try to see if that could be tripping up the problem control.
