Hello,

Somebody knows how to disable the combobox button in Access 2002.
I want to prevent the list be displayed.

Thanks.

You don't wish to allow the drop-down to occur but still display the
combo's value?
Set it's locked property to Yes and set it's Enabled property to No.

You don't wish to let anyone see the combo box at all?
Set it's Visible property to No.

Be careful going against the grain of what a Windows combobox was
supposed to be able to do. Introducing non-standard behavior has its
risks in more than one way. User confusion being one of them.

If you don't want the dropdown, why not use a textbox or label?
