Checked Combobox

[Guest]

I would like to add a control in my form such that multiple items could be
selected at once. The control should be a drop-down-menu where multiple
menu-items can be selected/checked. It would be similar to the drop-down menu
that is shown when we click Toolbars from the View Menu (; a drop-down menu
with checkboxes for the individual menu-items is displayed wherein we could
select multiple toolbars at the same time.). I would like to do a similar
thing in my database where there is a field named "where have you heard about
this program?". Currently I am using a combo-box to handle this field where a
user can select an individual item from the combo-box. The combo-box consists
of items like : " 'Newspaper', 'Friends', 'Staff', 'Family Members',
'Tabloid' ".
Because of the usage of a combo-box the user can only select one item at a
time. But suppose that the user has heard about the program from multiple
sources and he wants to select multiple items from the combo-box, it isn't
possible.

So could you please help me with this problem.

Hi,
If you wish to create a Toolbar with 'checked' items, this will show you how:

Otherwise, use a list box with the multi select property set to simple or extended.
You cannot select more than one item from a combo box.
