combo box doesnt save

In my form based on the table Customers i have a combo box looking up
for the employees. The tables Employees and Customers are related in
one to many relationship, the primary key Employeeid in ther table
Employees is connected
with the key Employeid in the table Customers.
The combo box is looking up for values in the table Employees,but the
form is not based on this table, it is based on the tables Customers.
I can open the combo box and i can choose an employee, but the form
does not save
the this employee for a given customer.

How can i do it properly ?

If your form, based on the table customers, has a combo box of employees,
what is the control source (click on the data tab of the combo) for the
combo? If empty, set it to your employeeid field name contained in the
recordsource for the form.
