Combo Box

[ted123]

Hi,

I know I asked this before but I still have a problem. I want to make a read-only combo box, writeable on a click event of a command button but an error message comes up: "Can't assign to a read-only property" I've tried setting the readonly property at runtime and it still comes up with the same problem. I've also tried locking it but then I can't view anyone's details.
Anyone any ideas???

Hi ted,

Have u tried using combobox (not the intrinsic combo) control from the Microsoft Form 2.0 controls collection.

try that and u can get the read only combo but still add on the click of a button.

I have done that, it work for me.

Just a reminder:

If you are planning to deploy your application, make sure that the
target pc's have ms office installed. your setup will fail otherwise because you used ms forms 2.0

Thank you for that. I know office will be on the pc I install the application on. Not sure about the versions, I will need to check that.

the office version is not relevant. as long as it has an office setup, you will be just fine.
