    Talking combo box problems

    hi!



    i have a form with
    a combo box that
    is saved to a table
    that serves as my
    database.


    i'm having problems


    with the combo box cuz
    when i fill up the form
    and when i press the
    'save' button, it
    saves to the table
    but when i close the
    form and open it again,
    when i view the records,
    the text on the combo
    box are all the same.



    it's like it shows the last
    record. but in the table,
    the names are saved except
    that when you view it on the
    form, only the last record
    shows on the combo box for
    all forms.

    how can i solve this?

    What is the ControlSource property of the ComboBox set to? It should be bound to a field in your table.

    What is the code behind your Save button?

    the "rowsource" in my
    combo box's properties
    is like this:
    SELECT [RegularRate], [Employee] FROM SupraSetterEmp;
    which means, i want to get
    the regular rate and the name of
    the employee from the "suprasetteremp" table.

    and the save button is from
    the access itself.

    now my problem is,
    when i enter a new record
    to the form, as i choose
    an employee from the combo box,
    it does save. BUT when
    i close the form and open it again,
    the combo box only shows the
    last record. let's say, i made
    5 records on the form, when
    i view each of them, the combo
    box keep showing the same names.


    although when i view it on the table,
    it doesn't. i'm just having problems with
    the combo box.



    pls help pls help!


    thanks again,
    kiera
