Having Trouble With Combo Boxes

Basically, I can't figure how to get them to exist. Under Ch. 27 (Creating Forms) in the Unleashing Acess book, it says to go to Control Wizard and then draw the control on the form. Then the Combo Wizard will appear. Well, I've dragged, I've clicked, I've done all I can think of. If I click on Control Wizard, I get "Class Module". If I go into Tables/Design, and click on Control Wizard, I get "Fiel Builder". I'm totally stumped and frustrated.
Could someone please help? All I want is a combo box on a form looking up description when a number is typed into the combo box.
Thank you!!!

when you are in design view for the form, look on the ToolBar where all of the new control objects are dragged from. Look for the button that resembles a Wizard's Wand, ensure that it is depressed. This turns the Wizards on and off.

I did that...and that's when "Choose Builder...Expression/Macro/Code" shows up. It doesn't just stay depressed ...tho I am getting that way :(

Okay, figured it out. Not ToolBAR but ToolBOX. Do you know how long I searched for it? :).

Thanks!
