Yes, it is possible. It is also advised against! IMHO, this possibility
should have never been added to Access, and then should have been
removed several versions ago.

Apart from the fact that this practice occasionally creates problems,
you shouldn't need to do it anyway. Tables are meant for data storage
only, not for data entry/editing. Users should only carry out data entry
/ editing through forms, where you can use as many combos as you like.

HTH,
Nikos
