Select the combo-box in form design. Right click and activate
PROPERTIES (if the first time you do this the PROPERTIES box closes,
just do it a second time and it will reopen). Select the DATA tab.
Select the ROWSOURCE line. Click the elipses to the right (three dots
"..."). Click on the SHOW check box below the field with the member's
name. Save.
