Is it possible to insert the contents of an access combo box into a form as a
drop down. (don't think it's as simple as cut-n-paste)

Maybe not but would save me a lot of typeing.

No. Access functionality is not available on the web via ASP/VBScript

Hi Wayne
You can populate a combo box using information from a database like access
does I think here are some tutorials using asp

Good luck

The link results all related to populating a drop-down form field, not a combo box which is not
available.

However, I mis-read Wayne question. Wayne, in what format is the data stored in the combo box field?

I am not to hot with frontpage (to say the least LoL).
I use the toolbox to insert the dropdown then type in the values. The
problem is that I am linking this to an off line DB and need to stipulate
each train station in britain (well charging stations anyway - that is where
a fare changes - there are 720 of them). So as I already have this in access
i just hoped I could somehow change this to a form drop down or import it
somehow.

No worries I will get one of the admin staff to type away for a few hours.
