Access – Refreshing Combo Boxes

by officeguy . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

I have a sub-form with a combo box that requires a choice from a contacts table. If a contact doesn’t exist, then I have a “new contact” button that opens up the contact form to enter a new contact. Once you have entered the new contact and closedthe contact form you return to the subform. However, the drop down combo box doesn’t reflect the new entry….

If you exit the original form and reopen it then the new entry is reflected, but that is not acceptable.

How do I force the drop-down list to “refresh” after I return from entering a new contact?
