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

Thanks,

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.
