Combo Box Value Selection Unique to Record

How can I get the Value that I select using my Combo Box to be UNIQUE
(to save to ONE record)to the respective Record that I am viewing on
my Form?

At present, when I select a Value from the Combo Box this Value
displays on EACH of the 7441 records that I can view using my Form.

I know its some small detail on my Combo Box properties that I am
overlooking?

Thanks for any ideas?!

The Combo box's Control Source must be set to a Field in a table.

Beware the use of combo boxes in continuous forms.

Try setting the bound column of the combo box to the first visible
column (column widths in the format tab).
