Hi,
I am trying to get multiple options into a text box. Ideally, these options
would come from user-edited choices in a table called tblLimits.

On a driver data form, when the "Limits" textbox gets focus, the options
would appear, derived from the tblLimits, and each potential limit would have
a checkbox next to it.

The user could select none, or up to 4 choices, and all these choices would
be added to the textbox and saved in the driver data table.

It seems that combo boxes, or listboxes just allow one selection, but I need
more. Is this possible?
THank you,
Karl

Karl,
Listboxes have a Multi-Select property that allow you to choose more than 1 item from
the list. See MultiSelect in Help.

True for combo boxes but list boxes have a Multi Select property. Try that.
