Drop-down List in Merge Form

D

Donnithorn

I've put a simple drop-down list in my Word merge document/form. It merges
from my Access database fine, and the field for the drop-down appears, but it
won't do anything. When I double-click I get the box for adding or deleting
entries. Is this because it's a merge document? If so, is there any way
around it?

Don't know if you can do this or not since I have never tried but a drop
down list box has to have the form protected to work . Click Tools, Protect
Document

This can not be done and there isn't a way around it. You can either
have a mail merge document or a protected Word form.

What are you wanting the drop down form field to do? There may be
another solution if we knew more about what you are trying to do.
