Combo box

[beth]

Hello

I am very new to Access, I'm using 97. I have created a form but I would like to make one field a combo box with three or four choices. I don't want to get complicated just something basic. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks
Beth

Hello,

I am very new to Access, I'm using 97. I have created a form but I would

like to make one field a combo box with three or four choices. I don't
want to get complicated just something basic. If anyone could help I would
greatly appreciate it.

Make sure the toolbar wizard button is depressed when in form design view
(magic wand). Then drop a new ComboBox onto the form and the wizard will
walk you right through it. Just choose the option "I will type in the
values that I want". This will create a values list for your ComboBox
which is where a property of the ComboBox itself contains the hard-coded
choice entries. This is best if there are not many choices and they won't
change much since you have to change the design of the form if you want to
modify the list.
