Combo-box always disabled or locked?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have placed a combo-box on my Access form, and entered a list of options
for the user to select.

When I put the form into Form View, and try to select one of the options, it
never lets me select one.

I have checked all the properties and it is not locked and it is enabled.

Is there something else I have to do?

Access 2003, Windows XP SP2.

thanks

Philip

Philip,

What happens when you attempt to select one? Do you get a beep? If so,
hold down the mouse button and check the bottom left hand corner of the
screen for an explanation. For example, if the combo box is bound to an
AutoNumber field, Access will not permit a selection.

Also check that the data type of the ControlSource matches the data type of
the Bound column.

If that doesn't help, please post your Data properties.

thanks, it turns out that I had the AllowEdits property of the form or
combo-box set to No ...

thanks anyway
