    drop down list

    I have a very simple data base with two tables. I have linked my tables by using the look up wizard to a "vendor" field. I am building a form and would like the use to utilize the drop down list to choose a vendor already there or add a new one which would then add it to my "venedor" table. Can't figure out how to do that. I only use the Access commands, no visual basic or sql. Can someone help? thanks

    You didn't use a Lookup Field did you?

    I used the lookup wizard in the design view of my table.

    It is ok to have ComboBoxes on a form but you should not have them as Lookup's at the table level.
