Next, we will set up the List Width property for our combo box. In Access 2007, the List Width property tells the combo box how wide to make the drop-down portion of the combo box.

If you set this value to Auto, then the combo box will automatically size the drop-down portion, but won't exceed the width of the combo box itself.

In this tutorial, we'll set the List Width property to Auto.
