Help with my table relationships and list box

Hi,

I am trying to create a data entry form for users. I want part of this to be a list box that can have multiple selections. As it stands at the moment. I have a table for Event details called 'Event', a table for Universities called 'Universities' who may attend, and a table inbetween called 'Attending' to stop the many to many relationship by having the Event Id and University Id in. I don't know if this is correct? Could someone confirm correct table design?

If it is/isn't how can I add a list box to the event data entry form for multiple University selections to be made?

Thanks for looking.

Actually what I'm looking for is very similar to this I think:

I'm no expert so I will see if this works.

Your table design is fine. The list box method will require vba to either work with a recordset or run sql commands. The other option is a form bound to Event containing a continuous subform bound to Attending with a dropdown where one can select a University.

Yeah, you're right! After getting confused with all the VBA stuff on the previous link, your continuous form solution is much better. Works like a charm!
