Peg- The mulitselect property is available in a list box only. What it does is allow the user to select more than one item in the list at the same time. The selection the user made is available in the list box's ItemsSelected property. You can use the lookup wizard to lookup the values you want to place in the list box. Or you can write a query in the rowsource property in design view. The BoundColumn is the column that the ItemsSelected property returns so it is important that the boundcolumn is set to the value you are looking for. This might sound complicated but it's quite simple, if you have any more questions let us know. -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Wier, Peggy J. M.

I have read how to turn the property on, but that is as far as I can get. Questions follow: * Can I use it on a combo box? * Can I use a table to "lookup" the choices? * How do I get the selections stored in a table? As an example an option may be available to 4th graders, another to 5th, another to 4th and 5th. It seems it would be "cleaner" to use MultiSelect, but I am at the edge of my understanding. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
