The Lookup tab in the lower pane of the table design window allows you to
specify the kind of control you want to use for the selected field. It
defaults to Textbox, but you can choose another option such as Combo.

In general, it's not a good idea to use combos in your table, especially if
the display column is not the bound column. Combos are great on a form, but
if you use them in a table, they are likely to confuse you about what is
actually being stored there. Here's more info about that:
