Re: Combo box in subform problems

Let see if I can do a better job of explaining myself. Looking at this
subform before any items are selected, looks like a one blank data*** line
with a dropdown arrow to the right on the blank line. Clicking on the arrow
gives you a list of 8 items to choose from. Once you choose on an item a new
blank line opens up below and you're able to choose another item by clicking
on the arrow and selecting from the drop down list. Is it still clear as
mud? :)

I have an example DB that has this subform that I'm trying to duplicate. I
still can't figure out how this is accomplished. Is there anyway I can send
it to you so you know what I'm talking aboout? Thanks for you help on this.
