MS Access Dropdown List/Combo Box

Question

This should probably be pretty simple but my Google-Fu is as yet unable to find an answer. I simply want to create a dropdown list in Access so that upon selection I can perform

Answer 1

How have you set the properties for your combo box?

Perhaps you could try setting (assuming you are pulling data from Table1 with fields ID and Field1

• Row Source: SELECT [Table1].[ID], [Table1].[Field1] FROM Table1;
• Row Source Type: Table/Query
• Bound Column: 1
• Column Count: 2
• Column Widths: 0", 1"

and then hook into the onchange event as Chris Ballance suggests. The value property of the combo box is ID; the text will be what is in Field1.
