Preventing Writing in Combo Boxes
Hi All,
I have a series of combo boxes and want to ensure people only select what is given in the boxes. I have set the matchtype to 'complete' and 'true' however am still able to write in what I like which in turn puts the wrong value elsewhere. Is there any means of preventing people writing in what they like? Or am I missing something with what I've done? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Stan |

Preventing Writing in Combo Boxes
Hi Stan
Within VB, select the combobox and then go to the combobox properties. Change the style from "fmStyleDropDownCombo" to "fmStyleDropDownList" -- XL2002 Regards William "Stan" wrote in message ... | Hi All, | | I have a series of combo boxes and want to ensure people only select what is given in the boxes.
