Walter-
A Combo Box doesn't allow multiple selections, but a List Box does. It sounds
like you need to use your list to apply a filter to the Row Source to show only
the stations in the current record. What is the Row Source of the combo box?

John;
The row source is another table (tblStations) that populates the dropdown, the
tblTrains has a field "stations_Served" that is a list of all the stations/towns
that the train does work, so by definition it is potentially a multiple item
field (some trains only work one station, however). The field contains the "ID"s
for the stations in a comma delimited list of numbers. I can't get it to display
anything if the field has more than one item in it and I can't get the drop down
to allow multiple entries,
The code generates "SList" perfectly but it won't assign to "SSxx" combo box but
I get no error messages.
