I have a form that shows individual records of a database for editing.
However, right now the user has to browse through the records to get to the
one that he wishes to edit.
I would like to allow the user - on that same form - to specify via combo
box which item/record will be shown for editing. Can that be done or does
this require two forms, one to set the parameter, and one to show the actual
record?

Thanks.

Drop a new *unbound* ComboBox onto the form while the toolbox wizard is
enabled. The third option on the first page of the wizard does exactly what
you're asking for.
 
Oh, cool, thanks a lot!
