Combo Box
I have a word form with some combo boxes (not form fields). I have set their
properties to the following Locked = True Enabled = True ( I don't want the control dimmed) Setting these properties disables the cobbo box list from displaying when the down arrow is clicked; however the contents of the combo box can still be changed by typing directly into the combo box. Not sure why this is happening since the control is Locked. Is there another property I need to set so users can't enter directly into in the combo box? Thanks for your help. Weste |

Combo Box
I don't see that behavior here when the document is not in Design Mode.
Are you sure you've exited Design Mode before saving, by clicking the top left button on the Control Toolbox? If your macro security level is set to High or Very High, opening the document would put you back into Design Mode (a side effect of disabling macros), and the Control Toolbox would be visible. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
