I have created combo boxes in the past in access but for some reason now it doesn't seem to work. I drag the combo on the screen and hook it up with a query. When I execute the process and see the drop down it won't let me select an item!! I know this is something stupid that I just don't remember. Anybody have and answer?

Hi,
If as u say u have put a query as row source of the combo box and u can't select anything may be u need to change the enable property to yes.

As it turned out there UPDATE option for the form was set to false and all I had to do was to set it TRUE and then I could select on the combo.

Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem but apparently I am even greener. Where is this Update option for the form?

Thanks.
