Can I make the combo boxes not to allow users to enter the
cursor in them,
but just select the options within? Thanks
 
This will not actually prevent the user from clicking in the textbox part of
the combo box, but it will prevent them from typing anything ...

Private Sub Combo1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

Select Case KeyAscii
Case vbKeyEscape, vbKeyTab, vbKeyReturn
'do nothing
Case Else
KeyAscii = 0
End Select

End Sub

newsgroup, but if you have a good reason to send me e-mail, you'll find
a useable e-mail address at the URL above.
 
Also, you could set the property "Limit to list" to yes. They would still be able to click with the cursor, but they wouldn't be able to modify the contents. It might not be what you're looking for, but it's a start.
