Individual values in combo box

what if you really don't want to save the choice they make in the combo box,

for each record on the form? Is that possible?

So you want to
a) Not save the choice they make in any record and
b) Do save the choice they make in every record?

You've got to save the information SOMEWHERE if you want the user to make a
selection and have it stick.

One possible source of confusion: on a continuous form it LOOKS LIKE there are
as many combo boxes (unbound combo boxes!) as rows. There aren't. There is
only ONE combo box displayed many times. If you change its properties or
content, that's what you'll see on every record.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question, John. Even though it
wasn't the answer I wanted.
