Access Combo Box Wizard Error

Every time I try to use the combobox wizard, it starts up, runs through to the end letting me put in my choices then at the end it throws up this error and then quits and does nothing else...
"Data cannot be retreived from the source you have selected, you must select a different table or query to continue in the wizard"
It makes no difference what table I use,it still errors.
is there a fix for this please that anyone is aware of?
