While designing a form & putting various controls on it, and switching to 'code view', the top of the window has 2 combo boxes - left one for the labels, command buttons, etc that I have placed on the form. The right combo box allows me to look at the properties of the selected object. While designing my form and wanting to deal with one of the objects, I can type a single letter in the left combo box (such as c) and the 1st 'c' object, likely a command button, is hi-lited. I can not type any more letters in the combo box to select a different object. Thus I am prevented from having anything in the text box that is not already loaded into it.
On my form I have combo box with a row source of 'qry_employees'. I would like to have my combo box exhibit the same behavior as the combo box in the code view window. At the moment, I can type the first letter of the employee's name, & it pops up, as desired, but I can continue entering text in the combo box, which causes other problems
Is there a way to prevent users from typing anything into the combo box, forcing them to scroll & click the selected name? I have played with all the properties for the combo box, but no luck.
Cheers
Steve
