I have a combo box inserted through the control toolbox and I would like to
add values to it, however, when I start to enter then, they are not
separated? They all just appear as one line in the pick list? How do I get
each on it's own line?

Hi Tania-

It sounds like you may be using the wrong set of tools. Activate the Forms
Toolbar instead of the Controls Toolbar... especially if you are _not_ VBA
savvy.

From the Forms Toolbar use the 'Drop-Down List' tool, then either click the
Form Field Options button on that same bar or dbl+clk the field, itself. You
should find that much more straightforward to work with.

Hi, Thanks for the message...
However, Currently I AM using the Form Fields and users are finding it much
too difficult to pick and choose the program they want from that. I wanted to
make it as simple for them as possible, which is why I have switched over to
the control boxes instead, also for the checkboxes.

I know minimal visual basics, which is a problem. I suppose there is not
easy answer to this one, especially with my limited knowledge of VBA...

Thanks for the info though,
Tania

Combo boxes must be populated using VBA.
