multi select list boxes

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible for a listbox on a form that is bound to a field in a table to have multiple selections

Just doesn't seem like it should be possible. But I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks

Your instincts are good. A multiselect list box can't be bound to a
field.

Nope. I tend to use a continuous sub form for this. I add a Boolean field, a
"select all" and "clear all" button which run queries.
It works quite well, especially if the user tends to use the same selections
a lot.
