An easy ComboBox question. ;)
I would like to create a ComboBox, which permits to cycle through 3
subforms. These 3 subforms are entered in the ComboBox as Value List.
The subforms should only be selectable via the cycle gadget (the button
with the arrow right of every ComboBox control) of the ComboBox.
How can disable the left part (text part of every ComboBox), so that no
entry can be manually made into the ComboBox?
I would like to select the subforms exclusively via the cycle gadget.

This won't stop them from typing something in, but will prevent the combo
box from trying to use it. Set LimitToList in the combo box's properties to
Yes.

or use three option buttons or checkboxes in a option group... use the
option group wizard to build it

This would als be a possibility, but unfortunately I am limited in
space, hence a ComboBox is the optimum regarding space criteria.
Thanks for the suggestion.

That's done already.
It seems that I cannot disable the ComboBox text part (left) from
accepting entries without disabling the cycle gadget (right) at the same
time. A pity!

I just tried this - and I can only type GO or STOP, or select them from the
pull down list
Private Sub Combo0_Change()
If (Combo0.Text <> "GO" And Combo0.Text <> "STOP" And Combo0.Text <> "") Then
Combo0.Text = ""
End If
End Sub

This is indeed a brilliant idea. I tested it as well and it works! I'm
probably gonna use that one. However I was thinking when posting my
initial article, that Access would possibly have an option which would
block data entry into the text part of a ComboBox. This doesn't seem to
be the case.
Thanks for your help!

I've been seeking the solution to this. But can't figure it out (sounds
simple enough).
When you Populat a ComboBox, you can select the initial displayed items on
startup simply by setting the TEXT to a valide item in the Combobox.
What I want to do is to select the initial listed item to an item based upon a
varrying veriable.
For example, the combobox is populated with a list of Users.
