Hi,
This may be a dumb question, but I'm having trouble understanding the behavior of listboxes. I have a list of say 3 items: Bananas
Apples
Grapes
I wish to allow mutliple selections and I can do that no problem.
I set the values for Bananas at B
Apples at A
Grapes at G
I am assuming that if the user chooses bananas and grapes, and hits submit, the field will hold BG (text field in access). True?
If the user returns to the page to change their mind, it would be nice to see that Bananas and Grapes are still highlighted and allow them to unclick their choice or choices.
When I tried it the list seemed to populate with the value rather than the original label. It was weird. Had the labels but the value was added to the bottom with a comma after it ie. B, and that's all.
I'm missing something here I'm sure, but if you could shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
