Hi All

I was wondering if there is a way of stopping people typing in data in a combo box.

I have made a form, were people are meant to select their name from a combo to stop spelling issues (yes, people round here cant even spell their name! :) )...but some people are still typing in their name.

Is there a way if stopping this?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Use a listbox instead. A Combobox is a Combination of a Listbox and a Textbox (hence the name)
