Lock field from typing, but allow selection from drop-down menu

Hi,

I have a field that the user can select an item from a drop-down menu. I
don't want them to be able to type anything in the field box because then it
gives an error (because what they type is not tied to another table). Is it
possible to restrict someone to type? I tried to lock the field, but then it
locks the user from selecting something on the drop down.

Thanks!
Heather

Yes it is. The user gets an error if they try to type something, but if they
decide they don't want to add anything to the field and just delete what they
type they get a "null" error. So I want to try and make it so they can't
type anything in the first place.
