I have a user who prefers a list box to a combo box - I
have no problem creating the list box but would like the
box to disappear after a selection is made so that only
the selection appears. Is that possible?
TIA

Yes you can control the number of rows a listbox shows, but then you need a
comand button to make it drop down to show more rows for a selection. Now
you have in effect a combo box, but done in code. So just educate your
user...

That is EXACTLY the purpose of the ComboBox.

What you can do is to use the ComboBox but make the List
component of the ComboBox visible at the appropriate time
for the users. Once, the user selects an item, the List
component of the ComboBox "rolls up" and disappear but the
Text component of the ComboBox will show the "value"
selected.

Check Access VB Help on the DropDown Method for the
ComboBox.
