I am trying to create a drop down menu on a form. The drop down menu would be in a field where a person would type in their name. I would like the person to be able to use the drop down menu to simply click on their name. Thank you in advance for any help anyone might be able to provide.

I think what you want is a combo box. Create a table or query that will display the peoples names. Base your combo box on this table or query. When the user starts to type in their name the combo box will start to search for the closet match and if the name exits will find it. Search Help for Combo box for more details....

Thank you. I was able to create the drop-down list I wanted. Now the problem I am having is that when I tab, the form moves to the next record rather then the next field. Any idea as to what I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Jack,

Nevermind with my second request. I was able to figure it out using tab order. Thanks again for your help.
