I have a list box on a form. The user may click an entry or two or three
etc. They are looking for a way to click an entry, hold the SHIFT or CTRL
key down, scroll down a bit, click another entry and have everything in
between be selected as well. In other words they would not have to click
EVERY single entry in between. You can do this with many other MS apps.
Is it possible in Access?

Click to expand...

Change the MultiSelect property for the ListBox from Simple to Extended.
Note that while this allows for the Shift key behavior you want, it will
require use of the CTRL key to make non-contiguous multiple selections (they
won't be able to just click, click, click anymore).
