Hi, Thanks for the help.

I am able to add more then one dodaac to the text box if I enter them myself
and add a comma after each. Your code works. Now I have a different problem,
and I don't know if this is the correct forum.
I converted an excel file with 1700 rows to a .csv but since the file
doesn't have commas, when I copy and paste several of the rows into the
access form textbox, nothing happens.
Is it possible to cut/paste several rows into the textbox, or is it an issue
with the file format.
