HI, In excel you can click on a cell drop down arrow and have a series of
items toselect for this field. Can this simple drop down be done in access
without it being a combo?

What's the difference between the drop down and combo? They seem functionaly
very close to me.

Is there something wrong with using a combo box (on a form, of
course)?

What do you mean by "but it never worked"? Did you substitute your field name
for FieldName? Is the field numeric?
