I Have aform with a Combobox. I only want the client to enter items
from the box into the field. If the cursor goes into that field, you
can start typing...a message box then says that you can't add anything,
other than whats in the combo box. My problem is that you can't get out
of it unless you add something from the combobox, then delete it if you
don't want it. I tried to Lock and Disable in various combobations.
That doesn't work. I took Tab Stop off. That kinda keeps you out of the
field, but you can still get into it. Any suggestions. I want it
foolproof!!!!
Thanks

Maybe you should change your code or your validation to allow "blank". In
my experience, if you start typing something and run into errors like that,
the ESC key will get you out.

OK....How about this. If I can't stop 'em...When you go to type, a
Message comes up. Where is that message coming from? I would like to
change it to my own message.
Thanks
