Forms

[Té]

I'm using a combo box and I'm entering the values Tech Support, Engineering,
Accounting, and Marketing; however I want the default value to be blank. How
can I do this? When I select Accounting on the first record and then go to
the second record it stays at Accounting.

My guess is that it not only stays at Accounting, but, if you close the form
and re-open it, you will see that your selection was not preserved. It sounds
like the Control Source property for the combo box has not been specified.
The Control Source is the field where you want to store the value selected.
The data type for this field must be compatible with the data type for the
bound column.
