Combo Boxes/List Boxes

[Guest]

Stupid question I know, but what it the difference between the two. When
would I use a combo box, when would I use a list box?

Combo boxes only take up a single row, so are perhaps better when space on
the form is a consideration. However, you can only select a single value
from a combo box.

List boxes (usually) display more than a single row of data (thus taking up
more form real estate), but they do allow you the ability to choose multiple
values at once. (Of course, you cannot bind a multiselect list box to a
field in your recordset, so you do need to do extra work)
