Gustav: Changing to dblNewVal = Val(NewData) / 100 and entering 0.017 gives .00017. dblNewVal is too small by factor of 100 now.

Now use this: dblNewVal = Val(NewData) / 100 intReply = MsgBox("The value " & Format(dblNewVal, "Percent") & " is not in the " & Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag _ & " percent list. Do you want to add it?", vbYesNo, "New Value") If intReply = vbNo Then Response = acDataErrContinue ' <NameOfYourComboBox>.Undo Else Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Select Top 1 * FROM tblPercents") rs.AddNew rs!fldPercentType = Me.fldBaitPercent.Tag rs!fldPercentValue = dblNewVal rs.Update rs.Close Set rs = Nothing Me.fldBaitPercent = dblNewVal Response = acDataErrAdded End If That works here. /gustav >>> rockysmolin at bchacc.com 02-11-2010 16:26:11 >>> I changed the format of the combo box to Percent but when I enter 26 it comes out as 2600% instead of 26%. And gets stored in the table as 26 instead of .26 R -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
