Is it possible to have a combo look up in a form that when you click the
dropdown arrow and select one of the records from the list it will take it
out of the dropdown for the next selection? And if by chance they deleted
that selection from that entry it will go back to the list to be selected
again on the next mainform entry?

EXAMPLE:
my subform has a combo box CircNameID

RowSource:
SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip FROM CircuitsData ORDER BY
CircuitsData.FromEquip;

The heading is Circuit Name

You might add criteria to the source like this --
SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
WHERE CircuitsData.CircID Not In (SELECT [YourBoundTable].[YourBoundField]
FROM [YourBoundTable])
ORDER BY CircuitsData.FromEquip;

Karl,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion but it still shows the ones
you have selected from the drop down as an option. The Combo is CircNameID in
the CircuitDetail table and is looking up the selection listed below. What am
I missing?

SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
WHERE (((CircuitsData.CircID) Not In (SELECT [CircuitDetail].[CircNameID]
FROM [CircuitDetail])))
ORDER BY CircuitsData.FromEquip;

I tried what you suggested placing the where in the SQL for that combo box.
Then made the macro use open query, save, repaintobject and close but all it
does is blink the query but still they all stay in the list.

The macro I had to associate it with a table, query .... that is the reason I
put all those other things in there. If I just use requery for the action and
the control name is NumberOfConductors it tells me it's unavailable. Real
confusing. As you can tell not sure of what I am doing. But I did use

Private Sub NumberOfConductors_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acPrevious
End Sub

It bounces back to the record but it did update the PercentageOfFill. So
thanks for that idea.

Yes, that is when is tells me it's not available. I also tried the following

Private Sub NumberOfConductors_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.Requery
End Sub

This worked but bounced the cursor back to the first field in the datasheet
subform. Why wouldn't this just go to the next tab?

Karl I tried a different approach and it did eleiminate the ones out of the
dropdown but blanked out the others that were in the report. Instead of using
the lookup (CircNameID) to the table with the data I used the table with the
data. If that makes sense.
This worked but blanked out the fields that were already selected in the
CircNameID field in the subreport.

SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
WHERE (((CircuitsData.CircID) Not In (Select CircuitsData.CircID from
CircuitSubformqry where CircuitsData.CircID = CircuitSubformqry.CircID )))
ORDER BY CircuitsData.FromEquip;

The field CircNameID was originally

SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
ORDER BY CircuitsData.FromEquip;

The Name and Control source is CircNameID in table CircuitDetail. What am I
missing or am I totally confused? any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I see error in your subquery. You can not Select CircuitsData.CircID from
CircuitSubformqry.
Either this ---
SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
WHERE (((CircuitsData.CircID) Not In (Select CircuitSubformqry.CircID from
CircuitSubformqry where CircuitsData.CircID = CircuitSubformqry.CircID )))
ORDER BY CircuitsData.FromEquip;

Or this ---
SELECT CircuitsData.CircID, CircuitsData.CircuitName,
CircuitsData.FromEquip, CircuitsData.ToEquip
FROM CircuitsData
WHERE (((CircuitsData.CircID) Not In (Select [MyAlias].CircID from
CircuitsData AS [MyAlias] WHERE CircuitsData.CircID = [MyAlias].CircID )))
