My userform has a combobox that I have populated as follows:

Code:
Sub fillCombobox()
    
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim cbItem As String
        
    For i = 1 To 3
        Select Case i
            Case 1
                cbItem = "1500"
            Case 2
                cbItem = "2500"
            Case 3
                cbItem = "3500"
        End Select
        cboPlantfr.AddItem cbItem
    Next
 
End Sub

I would like the user to be able to either choose one of these three options or type something else in. However, when a value other than the choices is entered, there is an invalid property value error.

I used a combobox because I thought it enables entering a different value vs. a listbox, which doesn't... Can anyone help?

I've seen posts about preventing this, but nothing about how to allow it.
