Ah ha!

My controlsource was only 1 character wide, but the values were up to 6 chars wide...I thought I could use the list but only store the 1st character...I changed the field length and all is well!

Thanx

Then if I click on the downarrow I see that letter added as an option! And I swear to you that the style is set to 2.

>>Isn't that how it's supposed to work ?? Style 0 is a combo where I can type in, and style 2 is a dropdown list where I CAN'T - right?

>>How do I get a simple, non-editable, dropdown list??

>>Thank you!
