David: Sometimes, in a case like this, I will bind the field to a text box and put the unbound combo box behind it, not visible. In the click event of the text box I make the combo box visible. In the update event of the combo box I take the combo box value and put it into the bound text box., and make the combo box invisible again. In your case, if there is already a value in the bound text box, you wouldn't activate the combo box. So once they make a choice, they can't change it.
