Instead of setting the data source of the combobox to the table, set it to a sorted view. Then all you need to do is make sure that the view is sorted so that your new row is first ... perhaps by adding a new column to the table that is null for everything other than your new row. I tried this quickly, and seems to work OK, but it looks like the sort put's null values ahead of non-nulls, so you'll need to do a descending sort. ----- In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
