Hi! I am new at Access 2003. I would like to create a Combo or List Box
(that's my first question - which do I want?) called "Custody" where the
choices would be "Mom". "Dad", "Both", "Grandparent", or "Other". However,
only the "M", "D", "B", "G", or "O".would get stored in the table. I have
both the table and the form set up and all the other fields are working, but
it keeps telling me that the field is not big enough for what I am trying to
put in it. What do I need to change or add so that it will take the first
letter only? THANKS!!!

worked! Thanks, anyhow!
