Hi, I'm having trouble creating a very simple drop down list box. None of the
help files/wizards etc seem to explain the basic process ? I've fot as far as
getting a drop down arrow in the column, but no text in it ? e.g. where do I
enter the four choices that I want in the list , and how should they be
formatted etc. ?
Many Thanks

ComboBoxes have a RowSource property. That is where the list of choices comes
from. This is typically a ValueList (entries in the property separated by
semi-colons) or a query that pulls the choices from some table.

I suggest turning on the ToolBox wizard (the magic wand) and dropping a new
ComboBox on your form. The wizard will walk you through the whole thing.

Many thanks, sorted it out from your reply, though still can't make sense of
the wizard ?
