    combo box labels

    Is it possible to create labels within a combo box to seperate sub groups?

    For instance....

    <<COMBOBOX>>
    [Label1]


    Item1
    Item2
    Item3
    [Label2]
    Item1
    Item2
    Item3
    ...etc


    I have all the items in one table in one field, I'm just looking for a visual way for the user to understand certain things are sub groups. If anyone has a suggestion, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If you only have one field, I'm not sure how you would tell what belongs to what group, but my first thought was a UNION query that would join the labels with the choices.
