Drop Down in Form ?

[ChadK]

I created a form that contained a drop down menu that a user could
select. I made some changes, trying to resolve another issue and now I
am unable to select a value from the drop down. I can see all the
values in the drop down but am unable to select them. If I use the
record selectors I can cycle through. Anybody have a clue as to how to
get it back to where I can select the record from the drop down?

Did you set AllowEdits to No?

What changes did you make to stop the combo from working?

 

[ChadK]

AllowEdits is set to no.

And what was the task performed by the dropdown box?

The drop down list is used to select a company. I then have a button
that when clicked will pull up a report on that particular company.

Well that is the problem. If the form doesn't allow edits then you cannot make
a selection in the ComboBox. You might think AllowEdits only affects bound
controls, but it locks unbound ones too.

I have set AllowEdits to yes and I still have the same problem.
