Default Multi Value Combo Boxes

The issue here is that you can use a list box or a sub-form to create a
classic relationship.

You don't unfortunate have the same user interface control (I wish they put
that new control in the design tool box).

In the case of a multi-select list box, you can create a very similar
looking effect by creating a sub-form with two columns, one a check box, the
other text.

Take a look at the screen shots here, the 1st form has what looks like two
list boxes, but on the right is a sub-form with a check box.

For a multi-value combo box with a drop down of check boxes one could launch
a small popup form with the above continues form (or data sheet) idea. So
you can create a fairly close interface here, but I do wish that new control
was exposed for our use. I quite like it....
