    Is this a "feature" of 2013, or has it been available in earlier versions?
    I have 2010, I opened the db, form and selected some combo info -- but I obviously didn't "get" or didn't see anything different/weird.
    ??????

    I think it may have been in there since Lookup Fields were added (ac2003???). I don't know for sure.

    I haven't tried to downgrade the file to an MDB yet. Maybe is was when they introduced the accdb format (ac2007)

    Just tried to save the file as 2003 format and it said it contains a "Multi-Valued field" and cannot be saved. I guess that answers that question!

    I have 2010 and 2003. I tried 2010, but didn't see anything special. I guess I'm not looking in the proper place.

    It is a Lookup Field in the table.

    Thanks for pointing me in the proper direction.
    Oh no -- not the "dreaded feature" M$oft added to """help""" new users.

    I've never used these after reading a few (hundred) posts on the "evils".
