Default Creating a Form

Damian,

Okay, the first thing is change the Column Widths on the Comb Box to 1. The
second thing is what is the Control Source of the Combo Box?

Its not working. Nothing shows up in the Combo Box.
My Raw Source is " SELECT TblCrewType.ctType FROM TblCrewType; "

Does Colums count or Bound Column has anything to do with it?

Damian,

In your combo box where is say Column Widths put 0;1

This will make cType show up but it will store the number.

Can't figure out how to do something.
I have two tables:

TblCrew
cCrewID PK Auto#)
cFName
cLName
cCrewTypeID Numberlinked to TblCrewType

TblCrewType
ctCrewTypeID PK Auto #)
ctType text

When I create a Form Using cFName, cLName and cCrewTypeID HOW can I
make
the
box for cCrewTypeID display whats in ctType?

cCrewTypeID is an auto Number and is assigned to each ctType BUT on a
form
I
dont want to see 1 or 5 I would like to see the type/text behind it
like
Carpenter.

I tried look up combo box and I can see the ctType but when I select it
nothing happens since cCrewTypeID is set to accept only numbers and not
text.

How can I go around that?
Thank You.
