1.
We are now ready to add a
control for the products that a customer has purchased or is interested
in purchasing. For this we need what is called a Multi-Selection
Picklist, which allows you to select more than one item in that
list.
2.
But first we need a label.
Add one with a caption Products.
3.
Now we need the List Box
control. Select this from the Control Toolbox:

4.
Drag a List Box onto the form,
and then widen it a bit, as well as increasing the height by stretching
the bottom of the box downwards:

5.
Right click on the List Box
and select Properties. Instead of creating a new field we
are going to use an existing field called Categories. You
select this field by clicking on Choose Field, selecting
Frequently-used Fields, and then choosing the Categories
field. This is a special type of field called a Keywords
field. It allows one to store multiple values in the field, separated
by commas. These values can be grouped in a View so that one can
see the contact appearing for each keyword that is displayed in
the list.

6.
Under Possible values,
enter the list of products that are applicable, separated by commas:

7.
Click on OK to complete
the exercise of adding the List Box.
