No drop-down listbox???

[gheophrie]

I just want a listbox. One that doesn't allow the user to type in values, just select. The problem is, the only controls available in my Access 2002 toolbox are the combo box and the list box. No "drop-down list box". When I consult the help topic "Create a list box, combo box, or drop-down list box", it says to "Click the List Box tool , the Combo Box tool , or the Dropdown List tool in the toolbox.". But there IS no such creature. Only the two I mentioned earlier. Please help!

Hi,
If you check out Help a little closer, it says that the drop down listbox
only applies to Data Access Pages.
Why can't you use a combo box? You don't have to accept what the user tries
to type in.
