How do I create a Drop Down Menu in an Outlook Form?
Hi Everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have created an Outlook form with
10 fields which people have to put a check mark next to the option they are selecting. I want to change this into a drop down menu so that they can select the option from a list rather than put a checkmark. Can you tell me if this is possible and how? Thanks to all in advance

How do I create a Drop Down Menu in an Outlook Form?
Add a combo box bound to the Outlook property that will store the data value. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=32 for details on the techniques you can use to set up the rows.

How do I create a Drop Down Menu in an Outlook Form?
Hi Sue,
I am still having trouble and wonder if you can further assist, since I'm not an actual programmer it's a little difficult for me to understand. I can add a Combo Box from the Tool Box but how do I create the list inside the drop down? To give you a little more background, the form I created is to be filled out by technicians in the field and I am giving them options to select different command names from the drop down menu. Please let me know when you have a few moments, thanks again "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Add a combo box bound to the Outlook property that will store the data value.

How do I create a Drop Down Menu in an Outlook Form?
As the page I suggested explains, the easiest way is to use the Possible Values box on the control's Properties dialog, on the Value tab.
