In the following illustration, users categorize expenses in an expense report form by selecting values in a combo box. If they don't see the value that they need, they can type it in the box instead of selecting a value in the list. In this example, the user is in the process of typing the words Phone/Fax.
After you insert a combo box on your form template, you must specify the values that you want to appear in it. Otherwise, users will see an empty list when they click the arrow next to the combo box. In the Combo Box Properties dialog box, you can type the entries yourself or configure the combo box to retrieve entries from a database or other data source.
Microsoft Office InfoPath includes other controls that are similar to combo boxes but that serve different purposes. To decide which of these controls works best on your form template, refer to the following list:
List box Like a combo box, a list box allows users to select values in a list. However, users cannot add their own values to a list box. Also, a list box displays all of the items in the list, whereas the items in a combo box are hidden until the user clicks the control. If you plan to offer the user many choices in your control, list boxes may take up too much space on your form template. In this scenario, a drop-down list box or combo box may be a better choice.
Drop-down list box Like a combo box, a drop-down list box enables users to select a value in a list that is hidden on the form by default. However, with a drop-down list box, users cannot add items to the list as they can with a combo box.
Multiple-selection list box If you want users to be able to choose more than one item in a list, you can use a multiple-selection list box. Multiple-selection list boxes look like two or more check boxes inside a scrollable list. Like a combo box, a multiple-selection list box enables users to add their own item to the list.
Option buttons Like a combo box, a group of option buttons enables users to select from a list of mutually exclusive choices. However, with option buttons, users click a small circle to make a choice instead of clicking an item in a list box.
Combo boxes are similar in appearance to drop-down list boxes, but they allow users to add their own item to the list, if necessary. If you manually typed your own list items in the Combo Box Properties dialog box when creating a combo box, InfoPath displays the text \"Select or type...\" as the default entry in the combo box. This lets users know that either action is acceptable. If the list items in the combo box display values from elsewhere on the form or from a secondary data source, the \"Select or type...\" text is omitted.
When you design a form template in InfoPath, you can choose to design a browser-compatible form template. When you design a browser-compatible form template, combo box controls are unavailable in the Controls task pane because they cannot be displayed in a Web browser.
The procedure for inserting a combo box differs slightly depending on whether you are designing a new, blank form template or basing the design of your form template on a database or other external data source.
The data source for the form template consists of fields and groups that appear in a hierarchical view in the Data Source task pane. Combo boxes are always bound to fields. In the following example, the Category combo box on the form template is bound to the category field in the Data Source task pane.
To change the background color for several combo boxes at once, select the combo boxes that you want to change. On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading, and then make the necessary adjustments on the Shading tab.
To customize the font that appears in a combo box, use the Font and Font Size boxes on the Formatting toolbar. To change the font and font size for all of the combo boxes on your form template at once, click the combo box that contains the formatting that you want, and then on the Format menu, click Apply Font to All Combo Box Controls.
If you want to adjust the spacing between a combo box and the objects that surround it on the form template, you can adjust the margin settings in the Combo Box Properties dialog box (Size tab). Using margins to increase spacing offers a finer degree of control than using paragraph breaks to increase spacing.

To create a bank account, first open the Chart of Accounts screen by pressing Ctrl + A. The screen displays the list of your current accounts. To create a new account, you can activate the \"Account\" button and select New or you can press Ctrl + N. When the new account screen appears, you first must select the account type via a list of radio buttons. The possible choices are: Income, Expense, Fixed Asset Major Purchases, Bank, Loan, Credit Card, Equity, and Other Account Types. For this evaluation, I created a standard Bank account. Below the list of radio buttons, there is a combo box for selecting the type of account for the Other Account Types. Below this is a \"Continue\" button that you must press to continue account creation. Note that there appears to be a second combo box after the combo box for selecting the Other Account Type, but it is not used. Once you select the account type and activate the \"Continue\" button, you move to a screen where you can enter your account information, starting with the Account Name field. Below this is a check box that allows you to make the account that you are creating a sub-account of another account. If you check this box, you are presented with a combo box just below the check box in order to choose the parent account. Next is a Description field, followed by a field labeled \"Bank Act. No.,\" where you enter the bank account number. The following field is for the routing number, followed by a combo box for selecting the tax line for this account. The field is simply labeled \"Select From Examples.\" To discover what this field referred to, I used Manual Navigation (described later). Following this combo box, you can enter an opening balance for your account. Instead of a field, this option is a button that launches a dialogue where you can enter the opening balance information. Note that the fields in this dialogue are not automatically read and some, including the field where you can enter the opening balance, are not read at all. Using Manual Navigation, it is possible to read these fields and enter information. After this button, there is a field where you can enter the check number that will alert you to order new checks. Below this is a check box that allows you to choose to order checks that can be printed with QuickBooks. After this box you can save the account by using the \"Save and Close\" or \"Save and New\" (Alt + A and Alt + S, respectively) buttons. You can also cancel the account by using the \"Cancel\" button, which is located after the \"Save and New\" button. 781b155fdc
