Ok, I know how to make a list box (or maybe I don't)? What I want to
achieve... I want to make a list box or pop-up box that will list working
locations where our employees report to. I have a database already in place
that has 1,000 records of employees and I want to create a list box which
show locations for example; Brooklyn, Cleveland, Chicago etc. I want to be
able to click on just (1) of the many locations listed in the list box, and
choose the correct working location for each employee, each record. Problem
is, is that when I can create a list box, it doesn't work right. I've made
my list in "Table", the field is called "Locations". Then I'm in "Form",
design view. I let the "Wizard" help. I've created the list box but it
doesn't work right, so obviously missing an important step. Would appreciate
your response.
 
Since you only want to select one location, why are you choosing to use a
list box rather than an combo? A combo is much easier to control and can do
anything the list box does. The reason it is called a combo box is it is a
combination of a text box and a list box.
