Hi Louise

Open you form in design view and ensure that toolbox is open (if not click
View menu and select Toolbox). Next make sure the Wizard option is "on"
(it's the small Wand normally at the top right of the tool box). Last click
the List Box wizard (on the Toolbox) and click on the form where you want you
Lisa to be (you can move it later). After clicking to form a box will open
and you need to either select the top option (lookup vaule etc etc) if you
want to "pull" the names from a query or table. If you just want to type in
the names then select the lower option (I will type etc etc). Then just type
in the name you want in the list.

Not sure what you want to use the list for some you "may" need a combo box
and not a list but this is up to you.

If you type in the list you can add to this (or remove names) bu clicking
the properties box and going to control source and then click Zoom. Don't
forget that you need to seperate each "name" with a semicolon ;;;;.

Hope this helps

What is the difference between a listbox and a combobox

 

[Guest]

The most obvious things are that Listbox has fewer letters so takes less time
to type and is easier to spell and also Listboxes has a very nice scroll bar
that appears if the list is too long to fit in the size of the box.


Other than that the “main†difference are defined by what do you want to
display in your list/combo and whether you want to allow edits.

If you want to only allow a user to select from a predefined set of items
then you need a ListBox as a user can not (unless they want to mess about)
add to your “listâ€.

If you want to allow a user to see the options and then add to the selection
(add extra items) then you need a Combobox as these have an edit facility.

So :-
A Combobox is used when you want to display a “suggested†list to which to
user may add.
A Listbox is more appropriate when you want to limit the options that a user
can select.

All of this is why I suggested that Louise use a Listbox as he (I think)
wants to have a predefind list of names.

Hope this helps
