I am using the following SQL as a RowSource for a combo box on a form.
"SELECT LAN, TenantName as [Tenant Name], ShopNum as [Shop] FROM
qTenantSelect "
The field 'ShopNum' is a text field and has a caption property set to 'Shop
Number' in the table design.
In the combo box though, I want to use 'Shop' as the heading (to save width)
as shown in the SQL above.
But the combo shows 'Shop Number' as a heading in form view.
I thought that the 'As Shop' would have done what I wanted, but looks like
I'm wrong .... yet again.
Can anyone help?

Thanks Mike,
That makes more sense. I've bitten the bullet now and removed the caption
from the table and edited my queries which referred to it.
I suppose it wasn't such a big deal, but I hate these things getting the
better of me.

Mike,
In fact it was so horible that even I had tried it. And it doesn't work.
I think I'm stuck with the fact that once I've used the caption property
inthe table, I can't then call it something else.
Thanks for replying though.
Let me rephrase. Add another field to the table, not the query. Then
use that field as the source of your field in the query.
I told you it was terrible. ;-)

Horrible, obnoxious, please don't do this suggestion to follow:
Add another field to the query which has the same source as Shop
Number, but either leave its caption blank or set it to Shop. Then
use that one, rather than Shop Number for the source of your combo
box.
I told you it was a bad idea. ;-)
