Ensure that editing is enabled at all on your control:

.AllowEdit = True

Well, yes, I guess I should have mentioned that I did click on the item. The ComboBox still did not appear. Should I be creating the ComboBox when I create the columns as in my first code example or later, when I add Records? Given that it does not appear in either example after clicking on the Item what could I be doing wrong? Is there some attribute I need to set on the Column or ReportRecordItem for the ComboBox to appear after clicking upon it?

ComboBox is shown when you click an item and start editing.


Set column = ReportCntrl.Columns.Add(11, "xxx", 2, True) 

column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

column.EditOptions.AllowEdit = False
column.EditOptions.ConstraintEdit = True

column.EditOptions.AddComboButton

I'm trying to create a ComboBox in a ReportControl. For a specific column I want all of the rows to have a ComboBox. I tried the following at the time in which I create the columns for the RC:

Set column = ReportCntrl.Columns.Add(11, "xxx", 2, True)

column.EditOptions.AddComboButton

column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
column.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

The column does get created but no ComboBox appears once Records populate the RC. So then I tried adding Records and then adding the ComboBox to the proper ReportRecordItem like so:

Set Item = Record.AddItem("xxx")

Item.CreateEditOptions

Item.EditOptions.AddComboButton

Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Yes", 0
Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "No", 1
Item.EditOptions.Constraints.Add "Unknown", 2

Still no ComboBox appears. Is there something I'm not doing here that causes the ComboBox to not appear?
