    Updating the row source of a combo box

    Hi



    I have a combo box field in a table (row source type: value list). I have added some extra options to the row source (in the table), but the options are not present when I click the dropdown for that field in a form.

    Is there a way to have the forms automatically update their value list to reflect what is in the table? The field is present in a few different forms so it would be useful if they could all draw their row sources from the table. Thanks in advance!

    If the values are in a table I'd expect to use table/query instead of value list. Much more dynamic anyway.
