Default MultiSelect List Box (pre Access 2007)

I want to achieve (in Access 2003) what the built-in function in Access 2007
does by allowing users to select multiple items in a combo box or list box.
See http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/ac...311171033.aspx.

An example
-client table (Client ID, Company Name)
-issues table (IssueID, ClientID, Issue Description, Staff Affected)

I want users to be able to select multiple 'Staff Affected' in the issues
table. I don't want to create a third table for staff affected because I want
to keep my data entry form fairly simple. The Access 2007 solution would be
perfect but the problem is... if I convert to Access 2007, I lose all my
user-level security :-(.

The final result is that I want to run a query to see how many issues affect
Mary, how many issues affect Joe, etc.

Any ideas?
