I want to create a drop down list or option group that allows a person to
choose more than one item in the list or option group. Is that possible?

In an Option Group? No.
In a Combo Box? No.
In a List Box? Yes.

Why not let us know more specifically what you are trying to do, and
perhaps some-one can tell you how.
 
Klatuu,
I can make the list box, and link it to the table with the list i want to
use, but, how do i adjust the properties to make it allow me to choose more
than one item on the list? ( example, persons condition before accident,
then the list, the person may have more then one condition)
Thank you for your help!
 
Use the Multi Select property, there are two options, normal and extended.
The difference is how they behave. Read up on the List box and it's
properties and methods in VBA Help.
 
thanks for your help, I found the multi select information and was able to
make the list boxes needed.

Just note that the Multiselect Listbox will let you SELECT multiple
values, but it will not - and you SHOULD not - store multiple values
in a single field. A Subform based on a PriorConditions table would be
your best bet.
