Alright so I'm pretty new to access and databasing in general, so keep in mind that I'm going to sound ignorant. I want to use a multiselect combo box in 2007 to allow users to choose what they want from field in a table, tblMergedIssues. A button would then sort what they want from the field and return them a table. The problem is that when I choose which options I want in the combo box, it edits the first row of the field in the table to match what I chose. I don't want the users to be able to edit the tables.

I'm sure there is an easy way to do this and I realize I probably explained this poorly. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Make sure your control source has nothing in it. That can make you edit the data.
 
jdraw, I need a combo box to save space on my form, so a list box wont work..

James, I thought the only way to have a bounded combo box was by having a control source. Is there another way? It has to be bounded in order to have the combo box be multi-select
