Match Entry
 

Hello:

I have an active x combo box with the style set to fmstyledropdowncombo, and
match entry is set to fmmatchcomplete. However I want the user entry to match
with the list from the listfillrange. I set matchentry to "true" but I can
still type whatever I want and go away from the combo box and it will not
force a match? Why is it like this? Is match entry not supposed to require a
match?

Please help.

Thanks.

Rather than a ComboBox, why not use DataValidation, this way the user can
only select from a pre-defined list that you set.

You could just change the style to fmStyleDropDownList.
