How can you update a Lookup List after it is created. It is not tied
to any table. I have tried adding the new data at the table level, but
when I go to the Form to input, it isn't on the list. Any suggestions?

I'm guessing you have to also add it to the form.

I did that--added it to the form and it did pick up the new
information, but now I can't change the label--it says "Combo 18" and I
wanted it to say "Component"
I entered the list using the Wizard Lookup feature. I entered the
values myself. I tried entering the new item in the Row Source
matching the format.
I have successfully added the field to the form, but the label is
showing "Combo 18" even though that isn't anywhere in the Design View.
I went to the Table and input the caption as Component and in Design
View that shows correctly, but when I go to Form View it still says
"Combo 18"

When you type the values yourself you are creating a ValueList as the RowSource
for the list. You didn't need to create a new ComboBox on the form. All you
needed to do was add the new entry to the ValueList for the existing one.
Did you delete the original ComboBox?

I made a copy of the database before I tried changing things.
Originally the table shows this Lookup as:
Display Control: Combo Box
Row Source Type: Value List
Row Source : "TruHeat"; etc., etc.
I added the new component with quotes around it in the Row Source with
a semicolon in front--just list it showed, but when I went to the form
to select the new item, it wasn't there.

See if it is still there in design view. Often if you enter a property
incorrectly it will silently drop your changes as soon as you tab out of the
property.

Yeah! I figured it out. I was going back to the table to make the
change. I tried clicking Field on the form in Design View and went to
Properties and added it there. That is just what it needed. Maybe I
could have just added it there and not at the Table, but it doesn't
matter--it works!!!!!! Thank you so much! I have sooooo much t learn.
Thank you for your time and patience!!!!!

I just read the 10 Commandments and #2 was good to read. I had always
thought Lookups were great--cutting down on keyboarding errors. I am
finding out the hard way they aren't all they could be.
I am taking on-line classes and learning as fast as I can. This
project has taken over my life almost. I don't think I will ever be as
talented as most of the people responding to the questions. It is nice
to see those who have the knowledge, sharing it. Have a great new
year!

I must be missing something here. It's clearly faster to lookup an item
directly in a dictionary than to scan through a list. So when I have a
large lookup table I always load it in the form of a dictionary. But it
seems a waste. I end up having to assign an artificial value to the
dictionary entry. Below I assign the value "None" to each dictionary
entry.
Is there a better way? I feel like I'm misusing the dictionary.

Hi all,
My application uses a lot of lookup tables.
I've splitted the frontend (forms, reports, etc) from the backend (data).
The database has around 10 different users.
The values in the lookup tables are not likely to change.
Question 1: Should I include them in the backend (with rest of data) or the
frontend?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
