    Creating dropdown boxes

    Hello Everyone! I am learning how to use Access tonight and am very impressed with what I have seen so far! I have created a form to help input my information into a database. How do I add a dropdown box that will list the information I have on another table to that form? Any help would be appriecated! Thanks!

    Have you tried using the ComboBox wizard yet?

    No, I have tried the form wizard but it did not create a dropbox. Where is the dropbox wizard? Thanks for the help!

    It is called a ComboBox and when you have the form open in Design view it is in the Control area of the Design tab.
