Thanks to everyone who responded to my query about message
boxes. I wonder if you can help with this?

I have a form with a combo Box. Before changing the value
in the box, I want to perform a check using the new value.

However, the value of the combo box does not yet contain
the new value (as the event is associated with before
update) so I don't seem to be able to use it?

If I associate the event with 'after update' I original
value will no longer be accessible to return to?

If the new value fails the test, I want to return to the
existing value.

Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Dave,

The Before Update event of the combobox would normally use the newly
entered value. Please post back with the procedure you are using, and
let us know what is not working.
