Hi, I have a combo on a form, when an item is clicked in the combo, that item transfers to a text box. Multiple items appear in this text box i.e. red, blue, yellow, green etc, all from the combo. I need to have these colours presented in an horizontal list and not vertical as at the moment.

Kind regards darren.

If you are using the method described by Trudi in post 261304, the items should be next to each other horizontally in the text box – if it is wide enough, of course. Otherwise, tell us how you transfer the items to the text box.

If you mean that you want a combo box laid out horizontally, I must disappoint you. AFAIK, it simply doesn’t exist.

Thank you Hans, I do refer to method described by Trudi. I need a rest, can’t determine my horizions from my verticals, I mean in a vertical list, not horizontal!!!. .

Kind regards.

In that case, replace

txtYourName = txtYourName & “, ” & cboYourName

by

txtYourName = txtYourName & vbCrLf & cboYourName

vbCrLf is the symbolic constant in VBA for a carriage return/line feed.
