OK, I have learned a bit about the "bad" look up tables, and how they an eventually mess some things up. However, the nice thing about them is that if you have the multiple forms, with same combo boxes options, if you refer to look up tables, all you need to do to update both combo boxes is update the one table. If I create combo boxes and manually enter them (instead of look ups), will I have to go to multiple forms to update them all? Seems redundant. Am I missing something?
