    How to prevent users from typing values in a combo box

    Hello there,

    I need some help on how to prevent users from typing values into the combo box other than those listed by the combo box drop down menu.[I would like to have this done for purposes of consistence in the data]

    Thanks

    Timothy

    And to help them out, set the AutoExpand property to YES so then it will go to the existing values as the user types.
