I am new to designing forms. Teaching myself as I go....I've created a form that includes a drop down list that some viewers will fill out choosing only one item in this drop down box, but some may need to choose 2-3 of the choices. The form is a request for trainings for schools in our area. They may request the presentations for just one grade, 2 grades or mulitple. Right now I set it up with choices of k, 1, 2, 3, 4, ....and so on. How do I enable the drop down so they can select more than one OR am I completely losing sight of a simpler solution?

Thanks!

Use a List Box. Set the field properties "Allow Multiple Selection" an commit on exit. With STRG+mouse click you can choose more than one item.

Thanks Jens!

I did this and it seems to make it work except when I print. I only see one of the choices. How can I fix that?

Thanks

You have to exit the field before printing. If you want to see all selections you can define the height of the field greater.

You also can define a second readonly textfield with multiple lines. In the exit event of the list box you implement a JavaScript like "textfield.rawValue = listbox.rawValue;". You will see all selected items in the textfield.
