Default how do I allow users to make multiple selections in a combo box?

I am setting up a db and I need to allow my users to make more than one
selection. An example would be my list heading is food and I have 10 items
under food. The user needs to be able to select hamurger, hot dog , and
fries. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't. Comboboxes are single-select by design.

Listboxes allow multiselections, but note that you cannot bind a multiselect
listbox to a field in the underlying recordsource. Of course, that shouldn't
be an issue, since it's a violation of relational database theory to attempt
to store multiple values in a single field.
