Two lines per entry in Combo Box

When entering the data use a CNTRL-Enter for second line. You will need to
size the ComboBox display to fit two lines.
 
Did you test that, Karl? I don't believe it's possible to have multiple-line
combo boxes.
 
I tried it this morning. On pull-down it does not display the second line
but it does after selection.

I am running Access 2002 SP3 on XP.
 
I guess it's a case of semantics, then. If not being able to see all of the
details when you're trying to select from the list is okay with Derek,
great. That wouldn't cut it for me, though.
 
Thank you gentlemen!

You are wright I did want to see both lines in the combo list. But never
mind if it can't be done then I need another work around.
 
Hi All

The problem was I wanted a combo that would not only show a name but also a
Title as in the end of a printed letter:

Jon Smith
Sales Manager

I ended up producing a pop up form that has multiple records opened by a
button instead using a combo. I set the one, two line text entry to Allow
Edit No and made the text box look like a button. On the mouse down property
of the selected entry I close the form and add the selected text to the main
form. In addition on the pop up I have three toggle buttons that allow the
user to Edit Add or Select an entry. When add or edit are selected naturally
the properties of the text boxes change. It's a neet easy to use solution
that takes away the need for a combo box and works well.

Thanks to all
