Stop user from typing in combo box

[Brian33]

I am very new to InfoPath. I am using InfoPath 2007 and connecting to a SQL
2005 database.

I would like to have several combo boxes on my form that will display the
data when the form opens, but will also not allow the user to type into the
combo box. I want to give the user the option to select from the drop down
only. I thought I could accomplish this using a drop down list box, but it
appears a drop down list box will not display the data that has already be
entered.

I done a lot of searching on the internet, but haven't found any good
articles in this. If someone could just point me in the right direction it
would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
From where you are getting the data into drop down? Can you provide more
information?

Hi Swathi,
Thanks for the reply. I am using a "Dropdown list box" and on the properties
I am selecting "Enter list box entries manually" and entering them here. I
noticed that I can place a text box next to the drop down list box and it
will display the data I want, but then the form gets a little messy with a
text box and a drop down list box for every field

Thanks
Brian
