    Adding a Combo Box

    Hello,



    I am trying to add a combo box into a form and when the Combo Box wizard pops up I only get two choices:

    I want combo box to get values from another table or query
    I will type in the values I want

    I want the third option...
    Find a record on my form based on the value I selected in my combo box.

    Why am I not getting the third option??

    Thank you!!

    The options are for constructing the RowSource property. If you want the RowSource to pull list from a table, then choose the first option. Then continue with the wizard.
