Controlling Inputs

#1

Am using a form with a combo box listing various peoples names and
want someone using this to be forced to use a name from the pull down
list versus enter anything else. Is there a way I can set form
properties to disallow any input other than a name on the pull down
list? TIA for any help...

#2

Set the combobox's property LimitToList to 'Yes' --this will force user to
select only a value in the dropdown box.
