List box showing numerical values instead of Text

I think I figured it out.  I was using the lookup wizard in the tables for those fields I wanted to display in the list box.  Apparently it just displays the IDs from the lookup table instead of the actual value.  I changed the fields from using the Lookup Wizard where I get values from another table to just typing in the values that I want and that seemed to do the trick.  Thanks a lot for your great lessons.  I can't wait to learn more!!


Reply from Richard Rost:

Sounds great! I'm glad you figured it out on your own. That's the best way to learn. Now, I personally don't like using Lookup Wizards in tables. It's much better to create a 2nd, related table and store the data that way.
