Hi thanks in advance...
Basically, I am using a form to "build" a database.
I have various combo boxes on the form that get their menu items from my
"menu options table", and then "send" the data to my "MAIN DATA" table.
Things seem to be working fine, except for the fact that on the main data,
the user choices from the combo menus show up as numbers vs. the actual text
choice. So for instance if the choices are red, blue, and white, and the
user chooses blue, the entry in the table is a "2". Not a huge problem, of
course, since it's consistent throughout, but I'm curious,
Is there's a way to make the exact choices appear on the form?
(P.S., I experimented with changing field settings in table design view, and
I was able to get this, but then there was a drop down arrow on my table as
well...don't want this)
Thanks so much!
