Creating a List with Unbound Controls

2
I am attempting to create a list of selected names from an MS Access database but do not want to edit the database. I am trying to use a combo box field in a subform list to select the names I want in a similar way to entering lists of bound names.
The problem I have is that unlike a bound list where a new record row becomes available immediately a record is created, I seem to be unable to get past the first entry as a new row is not created after the first selection is made.
While I can think of other ways to overcome my problem, such as selecting the name in a list box and clicking an 'Add' button, the thought the way I am trying to do it was more user friendly.

This is a short how-to that I wrote about a year ago that you might find useful:

Double-clicking to move an item between list boxes

You can populate the box on the left with the master list of names, and double-click on the ones you want to select for the action at hand, to move them to the box on the right.

Otherwise, maybe we can find what you're looking for.

Thanks Pat that is an approach I had not thought of but would certainly solve my problem.
