Usually this is done with the help of a wizard that will build a combo or
list box.

How do I access lookup values from a table to use in the
form?

Create a Combo Box on the form based on the "lookup table" and bound
to the lookup field.

Note that it is NOT necessary to use the "lookup field" type in your
Table to do this; it makes it a mouseclick easier maybe, but the
lookup field type has LOTS of disadvantages. See
http://www.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm for a critique.
