Microsoft Access

[MP70]

This probably sounds like a very dumb question and this may not be the right forum, but how on earth do you set up list/ combo box on Microsoft Access. All the guidelines I have are more confusing than helpful. All I want to do is add a box to form that allows you to select one of a list of pre-determined names.

Any help at all would be great.

They say "no question is ever a dumb question." In design view of form, click the combo box icon or the list box icon from the toolbox; then click in the form where you would like to place the box and draw it to the size you would like; the wizard will then appear and guide you through the steps. The Wizard Icon (at the top of the toolbox - looks like a wand) must be highlighted in order for the Wizard to take effect. You might want to decide before you go into the Wizard whether you want to add the names as you process through the Wizard, or whether you want to create a table for these names before you create the combo or list box. Hope this helps!
