How to change drop-down list in Access 2000

I am a beginner in using Access 2000. I have tried to change items such as
"male" "female" on a drop-down list. I've changed the typed in values (using
" and ; to separate items) in the datasheet view of the table under lookups
and saved it. The drop-down boxes do not change. How can I change the values
so that they are reflected in the form? All the help in Access tells me about
creating lookups but not about how to change them?
 
I use tables for lookups and define these in forms (not tables). How and
where did you create the lookups?
 
Hi,

When you create a drop down box or other control on a form it picks up
formatting and other properties you've applied to the underlying field,
but after that it's entirely independent and changes to the field's
properties don't flow through. You need to make the changes to the
controls on the form.
