Hello, I'm using a combolistbox in my gamesstatistics form to fill in players
name. But because there are a lot of members I've made for each team a
selection of members. These selections changes every year. The result of this
is that I do not see the names of the players who are not in this years
selection on the previous years forms. I can of course create a duplicate
gamesstatistics form with all players and one with a selection of players.
But is there a more charming solution?

Access has "combo box" and "list box" controls, but I've never heard
of a "combolistbox". Is this perhaps a translation problem?

You can get around this problem by using both a combo box (to select
players) and a textbox (to display existing players). If you carefully
place the textbox over the text area of the combo box, and set its
Enabled property to False, Locked to True, and Tab Stop property to
False, you'll see the actual content of the table regardless of the
combo's row source; the values in the combo will appear when the user
selects the dropdown arrow on the combo.
