chu,
If you want to select multiple values from the list you will need to
list multiple values. For example, let's say you have 3 values in your
list and you want to select any one, two or three of them. The list will
have to be structured as follows:
Value 1
Value 2
Value 3
Value 1, Value 2
Value 1, Value 3
Value 2, Value 3
Value 1, Value 2, Value 3

Probably not the answer you wanted, but that's how it works.

John,

This was just a question I'd like to ask as well, thanks for the answer,
but...
I understand the working of making a list where it is possible to select
more than one value, but I don't know where and how I can structure a list in
the way you explaned. Can you (or someone else) help me?

Thanks in advance,
Sophia

Hi Sophie,

John's idea was "create that list manually" in other words the value list
function does not provide for it.
VBA has this functionality but that is a different matter; tell me if you
wnt to walk that raod.

Ah, thanks for the answer, now I understand what he means... that is indeed
not what I would like to do.
Jan, if you can help me with solving this in VBA, that would be great. I can
read some VBA, changing some little things is possible, but writing "from
scretch" is unfortunately to difficult.

(In my case: I have a list of items (around 10 items), and sometimes it is
neccessary to assign 2 items to a task)

Hi Sophie,

I prepared a module and a form.
I'll send them embedded in a Project file.
I need your e-mail address - unless you are Sophie Luu?

Jan,

If you could forward another copy of the module and form, I would apprciate
it. This sounds like the issue we have been attempting to resolve in MS
Project.
