How do I allow multiple selections from a list in a combo
box? (Where you would hold down the Ctrl key and select
more than one item)

A combo box doesn't support this functionality. You can either use a
list box (with its MultiSelect property set to Simple or Extended), or
use code to store the results of successive selections from the combo
box in a subtable of some sort. Be aware that not even a multiselect
list box will let you store multiple selected items in a single field --
that would be a violation of relational database principles. Yes, you
can use code to to make that happen, but no, you shouldn't. Use a child
table instead.
 
As far as i know, multiple selections cannot be done from a
combo-box. Try using a List Box instead and setting it
MultiSelect property to Extended.

Hope This Helps
