Drop-down List Box Control (Data Access Pages)

The drop-down list box control on a data access page combines some of the features of a text box and a list box. Use a drop-down list box control when you want the option of displaying and selecting a value from a predefined list.

Control: Tool:
Combo box ComboBox Tool

Remarks

In Page view, Microsoft Access doesn't display the list until you click the drop-down list box control's arrow.

If you have Control Wizards on before you select the drop-down list box control tool, you can create a drop-down list box with a wizard. To turn Control Wizards on or off, click the Control Wizards tool Button image in the toolbox.

You cannot enter values that aren't in the list.

The list can be single- or multiple-column, and the columns can appear with or without headings.
