I want to give my users the ability to add more options to a listbox (or combo box though I'll use the word listbox in this post). I have run into two problems:
1. The listbox control requires me to enter a form that will be called to edit the contents of the list. I would have liked to just edit the table directly that it is based on, but instead I am forced to put the table into a form that will be called by the listbox. The problem is, even though I set the form to Datasheet mode, it always pops up in single record mode. How do I make it appear in Datasheet mode like a table?
2. When running in Runtime mode with right clicks disabled, I am unable to directly use the listbox's built in edit fields function to automatically call the form. I am considering adding a separate button that calls the form manually, but is there a special way to call it so that Access gives the form exclusive pop up properties and automatically refreshes the listbox after closing the form like it does when calling the form from the listbox, or do I have to do all these things manually in VBA?
