Alternative to Combo box

The combo box puts the ID reference from one table into another.  Is there another control, or tool, that does the same function?

Listbox

What are you wanting to achieve?
Select an item from a pre-determined list?

I have a combo box depositing the customerID number in a table.  I want the customers name to show automatically up in another form.  For instance, customerID=4 (goes into table for Fred).  I want to take that customerID=4 to another form and display the customer's name (Fred).

Or depending on what the RecordSource of the other Form is you could just create a Query that JOINS that Table with your CustomerT and pull in the Name.

You are amazing Alex.  Thank you very much for your time and help.  I wish we were neighbors (I make tasty hard cider and mead).

Happy to help :)

Do you tend to your own bees to make the mead?

Sadly, no.  I purchase locally though.

Well that settles it.  When I make the next batch I'll share some with you and Alex.  Any special ingredients you would like?  I can make a simple, still, mead or I can make it sparkling.  Many thanks to you and Alex.!.  Truly have improved my life and I thank you.  All the best.
