[Wouter WES]

Please help me to create a drop down into a new to design form.

What I did: Tools -> Forms -> Design. In "design form mode" I opened the:
->Control Toolbox -> selected ComboBox -> dragged this into the form. Then I:
->clicked Properties and -> under the Value tab I created new a -> User
Defined field which I named “Cancer Gynaecology†-> with Type: Text and ->;
Format: Text;

Further in this Value tab I had marked:
-> List Type: Dropdown; -> Property to use: Value.

Then I clicked -> OK

How to get now a drop down list ?

My drop down list must look like:
- Cancer du Seign
- Cancer de l'Uterus
- Cancer des Ovaires
- Autres

How can I now fill my new field which I named "Cancer Gynaecology" that will
holds these cancer names and from which I later can select via the dropdown
control?

Thanks you so much for helping me out… I spent at least 8 hours to find a
solution reading all kind of information without being successful to get a
clear answer. Also thank you for informing me which manual I should buy to
master Outlook Contacts and all what comes with it to create customized forms
– back up’s etc. etc.

Excuse my English writing I am Dutch living in France.

Kind regards,
Wouter WES

Thank you for pointing me to this site. I try to understand the content of
the combo box. If it is the language barrier or my simple mind but I have a
hard time to understand. I spent already 10 hours to figure out how to create
a simple drop down list like:

- Cancer du Seign
- Cancer de l'Uterus
- Cancer des Ovaires
- Autres

Please, please help me by explaining once how to do this and what I shoudl
write in the three Properties tabs.

I think if I once have done it I can figure out the rest myself.

Thank you so much for your help.

Did you read the article at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290819? It
explains in detail how to add the values intothe Possible Values box if you
don't want to use code to fill the rows.
