Newbie question regarding the Combo Box wizard

[lroy1978]

When entering the setup data in the Wizard for a Combo Box and toward
the end it says:

Microsoft Access can store the selected value from your Combo Box in your datebase, or remember the value so you can use it later to perform a task.

Is one chooses the 'Remember the value for later use option' - where exactly
does MS Access store this information? I take its stored in some variable somewhere but where I have no idea.

Im sure the answer to this question must be incredibly simple but if someone could help me I'd be very grateful.

Thanks

The value will simply reside in the combo box until the form is closed.

To be more specific, its stored as the Value property of the control. The Value property is the default, so using:

x = Me.Controlname

will set x to the current selection of the combo.

You use the Remember Value option for unbound combos where you are selecting a value that can't be bound to a field in the table.
