Adding Combo Box after-the-fact

What are the repurcussions of adding combo boxes to a data input form for a
database that already exists? Only the records modified after the creation
of the combo box and it's options will have that field filled in so do you
manually go through each record...just leave them? Anyone care to share some
insight? Thank you.
 
It really depends upon your requirements. I often write an update query and
put a default value in rather than leaving it null. That way I can be sure
of what's actually going in.

If you really need the old data, you'll need to go back and revisit each
record.
