Locking a combo-box

[Col Mc]

If you have a combo-box that is limited to values in a list, how do you set it up so that the user is not able to input into the field but still able to select from the drop-down??

Is this possible, if so how?...please


Cheers

You can't to do this, but you can include
ON NOT IN LIST event, (look at properties for this combo b.).

Yes possible, just select "Limit to list" in the properties

 

[MStef]

Yes namliam is right. LIMIT TO LIST must be YES.

I don't think this is what he is asking. From the original post it looks like he already has it set as "Limit to List". It sounds to me like what he wants to do is have it so that NO text can be entered into the combo box (whether it be on the list or not on the list) Making it so that if the user clicks the combobox they will only be able to click on a selection in the combobox and not allowed to type anything in that box.

I have been trying to figure out how to do this also.
