How to create a Static drop down List in a Form
I am new at forms, but willing to learn. I am trying to use the List Box. Nothing fancy yet! I am trying to create a list for types of loans, it is a constant non-changing list. How do I go about adding the choices? Loan Type: 202 223 232(f) 221 If I master this one list. I will then be able to master the 5 other static lists.

How to create a Static drop down List in a Form
If you bind the control to an Outlook property (so that there's some place to store the data), you can set up the list using the Possible Values box on the Value tab of the control's Properties dialog. Otherwise, you'd need to write VBScript code behind the form. See http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=38 and http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=32.
