Combo Box Help

[rnickels]

Hello,

Is there a way to have a message in my combo box that tells user to please select from list.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob,

In Design View, you can go to the Other tab and put a message in the
ControlTip text. It will display when they "hover" over the combo box.

That might help.

you could also put some code into the form which in the Event OnOpen' could display a message box prompting the user for an action

My suggestion to someone else was to have a text box overlaid on the combo box, with the words "Please select ..." and to leave it shorter than the combo so that you could click on the down arrow. Then, when the combo is clicked you could set the text box visible to no and then make it visible in the on current event of the form (if there isn't an existing record).
