I've got a form which is created from a table. The table contains values
from other linked tables. which have primary keys which are stored in the
main table.
Here an example of the problem I'm having:
I have a field called "Application Request" that I want to display on the
form. It is a combo box which can contain various entries:
"Masterfile"
"Printed Form"
"Report".....etc etc etc
When I put the control source "Application Request" on the form, I'm getting
the key, not the actual value. 1 is in the combo box, not "Masterfile".
Do I need to modify the query for the form to include all of the values from
the linked tables that I want? I would have thought that if I was retrieving
the key values I could retrieve any of the data from the linked tables.
Is there something special I can put in the control source to pull the data
by having only the key?
