First: I'm trying to teach myself Access so I don't yet know what I'm doing.

I have a table which is a log of telephone calls. (CallLogTable.) One of the fields is CallType. I want the field CallType to be populated from a list of possible call types and I've made a separate table of the possible types. (CallTypeTable.) I can show CallTypeTable in a combo box on the data entry form but it doesn't put the chosen call type into the CallLogTable.

I hope this makes sense. I want to know how to insert a value into a table based on a list of options.

If you know of a tutorial out there or somewhere I can learn these things that would be awesome.
 
The Control Source property of the combo should be the appropriate field in the CallLogTable (which is presumably what the form is bound to).
 
That did it. THANKS!
