I have a project table. Sometimes more than one person
may be assigned to the project. I have a lookup table
with a list of names and set to appear as a combobox. I
know I should probably us a listbox so that I can make
more that on selecuion,bit I don't want the list box to
remain open after I have made my selections. The form
that I will be using to add data to this Project table
will be a continous form as requested by the user.How do
I hide the listbox after I have made selections?
 
Hi,


Technically, a possible solution is to place the list box in the form
header or in the form footer (not in the form detail section), and to use
its visible property ( MyListBox.Visible=True ' to make it visible).

Ergonomically? you have to decide when (how) it becomes visible, which
is a harder problem than make it invisible, since there, you know that if it
has just lost the focus, the user is done with it.


Hoping it may help,
