I am wanting a drop - down menu with multiple anesthisia choices, BUT I want
to be able to select more than 1 choice if multiple agents are used in a
procedure.
I am new to drop-downs, thanks.
The dropdown form field on the Forms toolbar can't do that at all.
(Besides, how would it display more than one selection after the
cursor leaves the field and the list collapses?)
You need to create a UserForm (a custom dialog box) and place a
listbox on it. In the properties of the listbox, you can set its
MultiSelect property to allow more than one selection. When the user
clicks the OK button in the UserForm to dismiss it, VBA code in the
UserForm has to write all the selected items into some place in the
document.
There's a short tutorial on UserForms at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm, although
it doesn't talk about listboxes. If you need help with the
programming, amble over to microsoft.public.word.vba.userforms
