Controlling Data Entry
What Do You Think? Making a Combo Box with Visual Basic is
similar to creating a Drop-Down list with Data Validation.
Data
Validation is a simple, user-friendly tool. Designing Visual Basic
applications takes some thought.
Programming adds a responsive element:
What happens when a user
selects something from the list? What if a user enters something
that isn't on the list?
Both methods look up the data in a reference table.
Both Controls enable the user to select an item from a list.
