I have two combo boxes showing data from a short value list (year & month) I
don't want users to input data with the keyboard into the combo box, but
just let the user pick a value with the mouse.
I've tried the enabled and locked properties uselessly. Is there any other
property the fits my needs??
 
You can set the Combo Box's Limit To List property to 'Yes'.
 
OOOPpssssss!
You can set the Combo Box's Limit To List property to 'Yes'.

It was allready set to yes.....still blinks and allows keyboard input.....
 
With Limit To List set to 'Yes', a user can type anything they want into the
combo box; however, the user will get an error message:

The text you entered isn't an item in the list.
Select an item from the list, or enter text that matches one of the
listed items.

The user will not be allowed to go to another field until an item from the
list is selected.
