Combo Box Multi Selections?

[lboria]

I would like to select multiple records from my combo box not at the same time but each selection to be added to another text field in my form.

PROBLEM: When I select a record that 1st selection is populated in the other text field however when I want to select another choice to be added with the 1st choice the selection overwrites the 1st choice instead of adding to it.

hmm..
So, you cant use a list box to select multiple at the same time?

That would be the easier way.


Only thing I can think of, is when they click something, it stores that in a VB variable, and places that variable into the box. When they click something else, it adds to that variable, and again places it into that box.

So you would have to create a global variable i think, and set it to nothing, and on the "onclick" event, have

globalvariable = globalvariable & "string of text"

I know, my idea was for just about anything you wanted to use.

You could use text box and a button and my proposal would still function as needed. I think...

Perhaps a before and after would help if I am still wrong.
