Drop Down Box on a Form

[Frank]

Probbably easy fix, but can't see it. I have a form that
runs off a query. One of the fields contain a drop down
box. I would like disable the drop down feature. I ran
through the properties, but can't seem to find something
pertaining to this. Anyone help?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank

if you right mouse click on the drop down box (in design view of the form),
choose Change to & choose text box .. does this give you what you're after

Make sure the bound column of the combo box is the one you wish to
see.
In Form Design View, right click on the control.
Select Change to Text Box.

Or...
Set the Combo Box Enabled property to No
and the Locked property to Yes.

The combo box is now Read only.
