Hi, i am fairly new to access and have a problem, i created a fill-in form for new workers and in this form there are all the necessary fields, now when i choose of 3 new created combo boxes related to fields like nationality, sector etc., i can choose the selection of the whole 600+ country names i have already keyed in in the table workers, many country names are repeating, that's why so many (600+), after clicking on save record, i check the workers table and instead of the chosen country name there appears a 3-digit number, why does this happen ??? Also 2 other newly added combo boxes with sector and permit company does not correctly update, but instead shows in the workers table again a number instead of the chosen name. Please, help me, as i can't figure out what i am doing wrong or missing out.
