How to add "All" to a combo-box

[Loreen]

I have been going through user groups and forums for the past 3 hours
trying to figure out how to add "all" to my combo boxes.

I've got two unbound comboboxes. Once only has one field "FiscalYear"
and the other had two "DonationTypeID" and "DonationType". Both
comboboxes have Table/Query as the control RowSourceType and I setup
the RowSource through the query wizard interface.

Using the instructions I found at
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0043.htm, I went from

SELECT [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear].FiscalYear
FROM [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear]
ORDER BY [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear].FiscalYear;

to:

SELECT [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear].FiscalYear
FROM [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear]
UNION SELECT Null as AllChoice, "(All)" as Bogus From
[TBL-zlist-FiscalYear]
ORDER BY [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear].FiscalYear;

but I can't seem to make it work. I get the error "The number of
columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not
match".

I'm sure this is because this combo only has one field, but I don't
know enough about Union queries or coding to fix it. Any help would
be EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!

Try this:

FROM [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear]
UNION SELECT "(All)" as FiscalYear
From [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear]
ORDER BY [TBL-zlist-FiscalYear].FiscalYear;
