Hi,
I noticed on my user form that instead of allowing a dropdown list of GL codes to be available to the data keyer, I was making them type it all in. so I added a combo box based on table values, the account part of which will be stored in the data entry file under a budget code field.

Problem is that when I run the form, the budget code is not accepting anything. Meaning the list drops down, but when you highlight a code and choose it the computer gives a beep and nothing happens. The combo box remains blank.

Any ideas what’s going on?
Thanks!

Make sure that a column number appears in the "bound" property and that the bound column from the combo's recordsource is the same datatype as the table column that you are trying to store it in.

yes Pat, they're both the same, TEXT

btw, what does the # in the bound property supposed to point to or signify? a corresponding field in a different object?
