listboc property restrict user selection to click only

[jebushatescats]

Hello all Is it possible to set a property setting on the listbox control so that the user is forced to select an item from the lit rather than typing in an item. In other words I want the user to be able to only select an item from the list not add a new one.

For me, nobody may type anything in a ListBox !
I guess you talked about a ComboBox and then have a look at the LimitToList and AutoExpand properties of this object.

Hope This Helps, PH.

If you mean a combo box, just set the Limit To List property to YES.
