Hello list.
I'm using the NotinList event of a combobox to tell the user that
their item is not in the list. Unfortunately an alert box appears
automatically generated by access. I was wondering if it is possible to
remove it as I now have 2 messages telling the user their item is not in the
list and I prefer the custom one.

The Text you entered isn't in the list.
Select an item from the list, or enter text that matches one of the listed
items.

Dim strMsg As String
strMsg = "'" & NewData & _
"' is not in the list." & _
"To add a new creditor, double click the dropdown box or select a
creditor from the list"
MsgBox strMsg
 
Add the following line to your code ...

Response = acDataErrContinue
