Place this code in your save button, make sure the control names match
yours


Code:
--------------------
Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Me
If .ComboBox1.ListIndex - 0 Then
MsgBox "You must select from the dropdown list", vbCritical, "Input required"
.ComboBox1.SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else: 'your save code here
End If
End With
End Sub
--------------------
