I am using hte lookup wizard to provide a drop down box on forms in the datatype column.. However I notice on the forms that you can either click the down arrow adn choose an option.. or can type text in the box. How do I ensure that you can only choose an option from the drop down.. and not allow any text to be typed in the box?


thx

Set the property setting on the lookup box to Yes for Limit to List. It will constrain the choices to those shown. Users will still be able to type the letters of the choices possible, but it will reject any that are not listed if they try and exit.
 
of course.. didnt see this tab .. thank u
