[AccessD] Multi Select.

Aaaah, now that makes more sense...  I figured there is likely to be a deeper reason I just didn't understand.

It's not an Access thing, it's a Windows thing.  Listbox and Combobox common controls, and some others,  don't support modifying Window Styles dynamically. 

The only way to change Style and Extended Style attributes for these is to  destroy and recreate the control regardless of what development environment you are in.
