No Entry on a form

I have a list box that drops down for the user to select.
I do not want the user to be able to "type" in what he
wants. I want the user to have to select from the list or
not be able to enter at all. Any help is appreciated.
 
Hi SF,

My name is Dennis Schmidt. Thank you for using the Microsoft Newsgroups.

The combobox has two properties that can control this. Limit To List will
enable the user to type into the combo box but will not let them select
anything other than what is in the list. This is helpful when the list is
long because the first few characters typed will move them to that position
in the list.

Setting the Locked property to Yes will not allow anything to be typed and
they will have to manually locate something from the list.

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
