combo box custom entry that allows a 2nd field to have a custom entry

Set the combobox to "Commit selected value immediatly", enter all of the city values a list items Exports (leaving the export for your empty entry blank) , and then use the custom keystroke event script.

enter something like this

if(!event.willCommit)
{
if(event.changeEx != "")
{
var oFld = this.getField("SecondField");
oFld.value = event.changeEx;
oFld.readonly = true;
}
else
oFld.readonly = false;
}

This code places the export value into the second field if it is not empty. But if it's empty, it sets the second field to writable to the user can enter data into it.
