  Hello,
  
  We are using a MultiColumn ComboBox for a drop down list in our app.
  
  I'd like the user to only be able to enter values that are contained in the list.
  
  Currently, they can type anything they like in the box, and save it.
  
  Of course, they can also use their mouse to select an item, but we'd like to prevent them from saving invalid data.
  
  Thanks,

  I've found the solution - its AutoFilter.
