Do you have any idea how to format a combobox, or textbox, in code. For
instance I am try to format a combobox, that normally takes a "Number", to
accept a text. How do I go about doing that?

You've describe a "how" question ("how do I ...").

If you'll describe why and what (as in "what will having that control change
its type allow you to do"), the folks here in the newgroup may be able to
offer alternate approaches.

Good luck!

This isn't a format issue. If you change the data type of the bound field
of a combo from number to text, the combo doesn't need to be reformatted.
