I hope this is an easy question.
If I use the DropDownCombo style, users are NOT restricted to the choices provided, but can enter anything they choose. If I use the DropDownList style, users ARE restricted to entering from the list and cannot enter their own text. But I cannot find a way to use this control and still allow the user to blank out the control once text has been entered. That is my question - how can I provide (blank) as an entry-choice in a ListBox? I have tried all of these without success: ;a;b;c a;b;c; a;b;c;'' a;b;c;"" a;b;c;; Thanks in advance!

If you want to include a blank row when using the DropDownList style, you will need to set the row values using VBScript code behind the form, not with the Possible Values property of the control. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm#listcombo

Thank you very much!
I can do that if that's what it takes. |
