    ComboBox not listing values

    So I have a textbox on a form that contain values. I want to convert it to a ComboBox. Since a lot of these values are the same in a lot of records (for example, "Inventor"), I want the entered values to appear in the ComboBox dropdown so they can just be selected instead of typed in. I converted the textbox to a Combobox by right-clicking on the textbox => Change To => ComboBox. It changed successfully, but I want it to list the values in the dropdown, but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

    Go to this link. Scroll down. There are three tutorials on combo boxes. Watch them and see what you did that was different from what Mike Alexander shows you.
