Pull down menu.

[Hintmeinaccess]

I have a form already built,to which i want to add a drop down menu.
I need to select any of the options in the menu(it could be one or more).
What do i do for that?Do i have to have a field in the table?
Say my Table name is 'Manuscript' and the pulldown menu i want is: 'Status of the manuscript'.It has 10 things to select from, in the menu.So,now do i have to add a combobox to the form or add a field to table?
Can you please advice me on that.I'm actually new to MS-ACCESS and to this forum.i hope someone could help me out.
Thanks

I'm a little confuse what are you trying to do get all your records in a combo box?

If so, make a blank combo box in a form.

Row Source Type: Table/Query
Row Source: Table Name

Another way to do is the Combo Box Wizard.

when you select a value from your combo box do you want to save the value as part of the record ? If your answer to this question is Yes then you need to bind your combo box to a field in your table, otherwise you can simply create an unbound combo box.

Mutiple selection is best handled by using List boxes, rather that ComboBox

Type ListBox in the ACCESS help.
