<p>I have an Access 2007 form that is searchable by a combobox.  When I add a new record, I need to update the combobox to include the newly added item. </p>

<p>I assume that something needs to be done in AfterInsert event of the form but I can't figure out what.  </p>

<p>How can I rebind the combobox after inserting so that the new item appears in the list?</p>

I assume your combobox is a control on a form, not a combobox control in a commandBar. This combobox has a property called rowsource, that can be either a value list (husband;wife;son;girl) or a SQL SELECT instruction (SELECT relationDescription FROM Table_relationType).
I assume also that your form recordset has something to do with your combobox recordset. What you'll have to do is, once your form recordset is
properly updated
(afterUpdate event I think), to reinitialise the rowsource property of the combobox control
if the recordsource is an SQL instruction:
```
```
myComboBoxControl.recordsource = _
    "SELECT relationDescription FROM Table_relationType"
```
```
or if it is a value list
```
```
myComboBoxControl.recordsource = myComboBoxControl.recordsource & ";nephew"
```
```
But over all I find your request very strange. Do you have a reflexive (parent-child) relationship on your table?
