Combo Box Control
Applies to: Access 2013 | Access 2016
The combo box control combines the features of a text box and a list box. Use a combo box when you want the option of either typing a value or selecting a value from a predefined list.
Remarks
In Form view, Microsoft Access doesn't display the list until you click the combo box's arrow.
If you have Control Wizards on before you select the combo box tool, you can create a combo box with a wizard. To turn Control Wizards on or off, click the Control Wizards button in the toolbox.
The setting of the LimitToList property determines whether you can enter values that aren't in the list.
The list can be single- or multiple-column, and the columns can appear with or without headings.
