There are various ways to do this, but the easiest is to check the
ListIndex of the combo box to see if an entry has been selected.
For example:
If cmbCountry.ListIndex <> -1 Then
recCountry.Fields(0).Value = cmbCountry.Text
End If
If the user had typed in any old {*filter*}into the combo box, then the
ListIndex property will have a value of -1.
Hope this helps,
Karl
