RE: combo boxes

Hi Hanan,

Thank you for your post, the answer to your question is;

When you are creating your table before it comes to the query stage, create your chosen field using the Lookup Wizard option, when it comes to the choose fields dialog, choose the fields you wish to include, when you display your combo box the fields will display, if however you wish to be able to select different field values, this is not possible from a single combo box. Note: in your Column Count in the properties list ensure you are showing 2 (or more).

regards Pete

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
