Options for forms instead of list values

I have created forms with controls that have the data type option "text" and
"lookup wizard" so a list of options drops down. Now my question is as
follow: Is there a way that all the choices of the lookup wizard can be shown
in the form (below or next to the control) and I can just click the answer to
the control?

Yes, change the combo box to a list box. A list box can be set to allow you
to select one or more items in the list. However, there is another
significant difference between a combo box and list box, the list box
doesn't have a textbox portion that you can type into the way the combo box
does. So, with a listbox you can only select items in the list, you can't
type in your own items.

Another option may be to have the drop down portion of the combo box open
automatically when the combo box receives the focus. To do this, add the
following line to the combo box's GotFocus event:

Me.NameOfComboBox.DropDown
