Hi, this is to enable the users to supply string pattern of their choice. Eg, to search for something that starts with A, users can enter A%.

Hi rzaxl4861,
That is what a combobox is: you can select a value from a list, or enter whatever value that is not in the list.
I you want only values from the list to be selected, you can change the parameter display type to List Box.
Regards
Hans
