Hi..

I have a combo box which has a drop down menu. I want the combo box not writeable, whereas the users are only allowed to pick from the drop down menu. If i go to it now, I can type anything into the combo box and not have to pick anything from the drop down menu. I don't want it like that. I want it as where users have to pick something from the drop down menu.

Properties of the combo box:

Enabled: yes
locked: no

If i change the Locked to YES, it drops the menu down, but not let me pick anything from the menu. So i have left it as NO.
If I change the Enabled to NO, it doesnt let me do anything, e.g. no menu displayed, can't select the combo box.

Please help..

Thank you in advance
Ruby

Set the Limit to List property to Yes in the Data tab of the properties sheet. This will only allow users to select items in the list.
