[AccessD] combo box Limit to List question

The Limit to List Property must be set to Yes for the NotInList event to
fire. At least, that's what Help says -- I haven't actually tested it.

I don't see how that is a problem because you can still add to the list via
the 'On Not in List' event.  Wouldn't you ordinarily just hide an AN to the
first column and hide it with a 0 width?  This is my invariable approach and
I use a different combo backcolor to indicate whether the combo is limited
to list or provides add to list functionality.
