    Combo Box Help


    Hi there. I am extremely new to access. I am trying to add a combo box to one of my columns. I have tried to follow instructions on internet and you tube but have failed.

    Basically i have about ten columns of which a couple of them I want to have combo boxes so that the information that is in each of these columns is standardized.

    Currently all I have is my ten columns with headings set out.

    Is there anyway someone can help me/give me instructions on how to add a combo box, remembering I am very new to this?!

    Thanks for your help.

    Are you doing this in the table or on a form?

    Are you the only user of this database? Not a good idea to allow users to interact directly with tables and queries.

    You can set up the combobox in table in Design view on the Lookup tab. Access Help has guidelines.
