You are right. I need to change the recordSource but I do not see that
property name in the data tab.

The form has a property sheet. *The controls; combos, listbox, textbox,
labels...they have a property sheet as well. *The recordsource is the
recordset associated with the entire form. *So if the form's
recordsource is using an invalid table, you need to open the property

the square box in the upper left hand corner of the form window to get it..

I'm a bit confused with your question. *A combo box is good for lookups

Yes that ought to do it. Thank you very very ..... much. I should have
thought of it too. Regarding your question I am using a combos because
the user can select some values from the existing table or simply add
new ones to this field if needed.
Thanks agin for your help,
