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. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)
