    Combo Box Not Working on Form

    I have a form with two combo boxes. One works just fine, the other does not. The one that is working has values typed in (2 values), the one that is not gets its values from a table (10 entries). The combo boxes work fine in the query and in the table. What is it I do not see?

    What does not work mean. It has no entries in the list? It has entries but they can not be selected? Item selected is not saved to the form's data source?

    Can you show us what you have as the setting of the Row Source property of the combo box.

    Did you post properties from the table? Do the properties of the control match? If so, possible corruption. Delete the combobox and create new one.

    I got it to work. The lookup (tab) vakues were different from other of my combo boxes. I re-did the values and it is now working. Thanks.
