Drop Down Combobox for viewing only

[penwood]

Is it possible to create on my form a drop down combo box for just viewing purposes of table values? i want to manually enter my value but sometimes i like to look at my Standard ranges as a double check. I do NOT want the combo box values to come into the field.

is there a way to do this?

thanks

Simply create an unbound combo box that looks up the values of your table.

By not referring to a Control Source.
Open your form in design mode.
Leave the property Control Source on the tab page Data of your form empty.

Leave the form bound to your table, if you only want the comobox as a reference, leave the control source of the combobox empty.
