View Full Version : Combo Box wish...

Does Access support a combo box that is "non-editable"? I'm wishing for a control with the pop-up aspects of a combo box but with the inability to attempt edits of a list box.

Sure, I can use the Limit to List property but I'm searching after a cleaner user interface than that.

I've tried placing a locked transparent text box over the text portion of the combo box, and while this helps to partially achieve my goal, there are still certain times when the end-user can attempt to "edit" the combo box.

Have I just not found the right combination of combo box properties to achieve my combo box wish, or is this (common) control type really not supported by Access?

Set the mambo box's "Locked" property to yes.

I tried "locking" the combo box as mentioned above but this prohibits ANY selection from the pop-up combo list. Thanks anyway.
