Comboboxes Please Help!

[RBCC]

I have a form with a combo box on it called cbojunk, I would like to figure out how to do this:

1. Upon Entry

a. in the text portion the person types something in say"Fred"

b.if fred is found in the file then it outputs it

or

<this is what I need help with>

A window (msgbox) pops up and says"would you like to Enter the rest of the info"

 

if the user types something, then the code will trap it and pop up the dialog box, how is this done?

Is there a website that explains as well as shows this?

Have you thought about populating the combo box with the values from the file?

 

This will restrict the user to pick only valid entries. If they want to add a new record then you can provide this fuctionality elsewhere, say with an Add New button?

Yes that is what it will do, however I am trying to figure out how to use the keypress event so the program will know when the a keypress happens.
