Answer put your values red,blue etc in Combo1 list property
and have combo1.enabled=false
have a commandbutton or an UPDOWN control next to the combo with this code
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
Private Sub UpDown1_DownClick()
Static adu1 As Integer
adu1 = Combo1.ListIndex
adu1 = adu1 - 1
If adu1 = -1 Then Exit Sub
Combo1.ListIndex = adu1
End Sub
Private Sub UpDown1_UpClick()
Static adu As Integer
adu = Combo1.ListIndex
adu = adu + 1
If adu = Combo1.ListCount Then Exit Sub
Combo1.ListIndex = adu
End Sub
then no one can enter the values into the combo
