How do I populate values in a drop down box in an Outlook form?

[Jacksv]

i have created a form and I want Users to be able to select from a
pre-defined list of options for some fields. For instance, for dept I want
htem to choose from one of 10 options rather than typing their own versions
of the dept names.

I can see how to add a drop down box using the Control Toolbox. but I can't
seem to find any help on how to populate the list for the box.

I'm using Outlook 2003

If the control is bound to an Outlook property, you can set the Possible Values list on the Value tab of the control. Otherwise, you would need to write code behind the form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=32
