Default Multi Value Combo Boxes

Hello:

One of the new features of Access 2007 (sometimes criticized) is the ability
to create a table field as "Allow Multiple Values" using the Lookup Wizard
when specifying the data type. This shows the values with a checkbox and
allows the user to select multiple items (i.e. select CA, OR, WA as states in
which a business resides).

I was hoping to just define a table field as Text and then create the "Allow
Multiple Values" when creating a combo-box on the form. The form wizard does
not seem to create the same objects as when doing it in table design mode.

So, unless someone knows how to create these "Many to Many Under the Cover"
relationships in forms, I will probably have to do that functionality in the
table design mode.

I am familiar with the usual list box ability to select multiple items into
a collection, but that is available in Access 2003. This new feature is only
in 2007, and I'm not sure how to invoke it from a form.

Ideas?
