You would need a repeating group to store your list of selections.

When they select from the drop down it adds a value to the list and resets itself. A list control displays the list contents as it is built.

They select another value from the dropdown, and another is added, etc.

Another option is to create a list of your values. ValueName, ValueSelect and display it in a repeating table within a scrolling region. The user would go through and check the ValueSelect checkbox for each they want. Then hit the continue button and you do what ever with ValueName with filter [ValueSelect=true]

Thank you, Clay. I am using Infopath 2003. I like what you said about saving, selecting multiple choices and then dispaying in a saperate list.

How can I make that happen?

Welcome Donna.

Do you have InfoPath 2003 or 2007?

In 2007 they have a multiple selection list box that does what you describe. Workarounds in 2003 could be to have them make several choices and then save and display those choices in a seperate list.
