You don't give us enough to go on in what you have posted - please note that we cannot do much to advise you if you take so little care over what you ask.

Short answer to your very short question is to set the field (or control on a form if that is what you really mean) to the value defined by the reserved keyword Null. Nulls are not really values - they represent the absence of a value, not its presence.

Example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub SomeCombo_AfterUpdate()
  2.     If Me.SomeCombo = TriggerValue then
  3.         Me.AnotherControl = Null
  4.     end if
  5. End Sub
Setting fields to null can be done similarly in SQL if you are using an Update query.
