Data entry into table field.

You are of course absolutrly correct, but I did so because the down arrow to
which you refer simply shows an empty box and so there is nothing from which
to choose.
(I am reading the form and report design right now, interestings tips there,
but the TRIM (command?) didn't work. I am trying to show a concatenated field
of 2 numbers but there is always a space, even after I left justified the
right hand (or second) number.
I am very grateful for all your help, please don't give up on me. Thanks
very much.

that means you used an equation as the Controlsource -- not the name of
a field. In the controlsource property, make a choice from the list
(note the arrow on the right when you click in that property)

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.
