Drop down within a Subform
Michael Goins 

12 years ago
Hi,
I have successfully created several Combo Boxes by creating the lists in a table.  However, I have not been able to create the drop down lists from a table within my Subforms.  In this situation I have had to use the Lookup Wizard to get it to work.  I have a feeling it has something to do with the type of relationships I am defining, as I keep getting an error pop-up in the Subform Wizard when I try to create the Subform from two different tables (one for the Subform, the other for the drop-down list like for a Combo Box).  However, I am concerned that there will be limitations on querying the data from the Lookup Wizard as opposed to the Table-Combo Box method.  Is the Lookup Wizard for the data type in this situation a bad way to do this, or will I regret it later?  Please advise.

Hi Michael
Try creating the Query you wish to use to fill your combo, when that is working you can then set that to be the source of your combo.
