Hey,

I have a form set up that allows me to choose a single entry from a range of
pull downs and I want to be able to chose two or more a pull down (combo
box). Have been told this is very complex to do.... :-(

Any help would be terrific,

Eamonn

Complex? No. Impossible. A ListBox can allow multiple selections, a ComboBox
cannot.

You could fake it by adding each selection to a TextBox as they are made,
perhaps comma separated and then using the TextBox instead of the ComboBox.

Because of the nature of a combobox your only choice may be to use a
listbox. Dev Ashish has coding for a multi-select one here:
