You can't. You use a list box set to mult-select, not a combo-box (aka drop
down box).

Whether you use a combo box or a list box, you can't actually bind the
control so that multiple choices are automatically stored in a single
field. What you can do is use code to trap each selection as it is made
and store it someplace else -- normally as a new record in a related
table.

Hmmm... you can pass an array to the listbox function and retrieve
multiple selections in that array. Then do your program logic.

But a drop down can never work that way.
