Dropdown menus

Hoe do I create a drop down menu in a field in a access form?

Thanks,

Clare

RE: dropdown menus

Hi Clare

Thank you for your question. Apologies for the delay in response.

In design view, use the Combo Box object from the Toolbox to create a dropdown list. The dropdown list can display values from an existing table or query; or you can type in the items you want people to be able to select from.

Access tip:

Prefixed Autonumbering

When using Date Type = Autonumber as a primary key, clients may require autonumbering to be prefixed with a letter.

For example, P001, where P is the prefixed letter

Instructions
Step 1. Create Field Name
Step 2. Set Data Type to Autonumber
Step 3. Within Field Property General tabsheet,
enter Format property as [backslash]P000
