Changing a ComboBox header

Is it possible to changing a ComboBox header to something move understandable to the end user? I don't want to change the field name. You would think this would and easy thing, but I cannot find how to do it.

Set the caption property in the table. If the Combo Box is based on a query right click on the column to open the field properties. Set the Caption property.

In design mode double click and edit the label or on the property sheet for the ComboBox edit the Label Name.

Thanks Scott, this header I need to change is based from a query. I am trying to do what Kevin suggested but it will not save the caption.

	Mark Pierce OP @Reply 3 years ago
I figured out why it would not save the caption change. I did not have the query setup as a standalone query. I have it now, thanks!
