Combo box not displaying many columns
How do I take my form that contains numerous combo boxes and make it such
that you can select a selection from the combo and make it show all columns? Is this possible? How do you also make the combo box larger to see all columns to make a section? Thanks! Beth

Combo box not displaying many columns
Select the combobox and open properties. Go to the Fornmat tab. Set Column
Count to the nimber of columns you want to display in the drop-down list. Then in the Column Width property, you need the same number of widths as what you set Column Count to. Why do you want to display all the columns? That is not typical of how a combobox is set up. Steve "Beth McLaren" wrote in message ...

Combo box not displaying many columns
If you mean you want the combobox to display all the columns after you have
selected an item and moved off the combobox, then you cannot do this. You can concatenate (add together) all the columns and have that displayed OR you can add textbox controls to the form and have them show the value of the various columns by setting each control's source to something like =[NameOfCombobox].Column(1) Where the number one is the column position of the column you want to display a value from. The number is one less than the column because the columns numbers are zero-based. That is the first column is numbered 0, the second column 1, etc. John Spencer Access MVP 2002-2005, 2007-2009 The Hilltop Institute University of Maryland Baltimore County Beth McLaren wrote: How do I take my form that contains numerous combo boxes and make it such that you can select a selection from the combo and make it show all columns?

An example would help us visualize your situation. Otherwise, it's tough to tell whether making it "show all columns" is just another way of saying "show me the record"...
