Fix Typos with Field Substitution, Update Queries Part 3

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to handle field value substitutions by creating a text-based combo box. This video will teach you to maintain a dynamic list allowing users to select from known country names or type in new entries without binding to an ID field. You'll learn how to construct an aggregate query to generate a unique list of countries and use it to populate the combo box, enabling flexible data entry. This is part 3 of the series.

In the extended cut, we will learn how to check if a typed-in value is a known country or a known misspelling and make the appropriate substitution. Additionally, we will set up a prompt to ask the user for confirmation if the entry is not found in either list, allowing them to add it if desired. Silver members and up will have access to all extended cut videos, where I will show you how to implement these features.
