I have a simple drop-down list in my infoPath form. I chose to enter the list
box entries manually via the Drop-Down List Box Properties window.

I want users to be able to type in a value if it is not listed in the
drop-down list.

How can I achieve this?

Hi,

You won't be able to do it if you enter the list manually. Instead you
would need to bind your drop-down to a secondary Dom in your form (add a data
connection from an outside xml document that you designed yourself and that
contain initial entries for your drop-down). Then you provide an interface
for users to access and maintain that xml document.

Hope hat it helps.
