Hi,
I am new to VB.NET. I try to start my first project linking to an Access
database. On my Form1, I have two fields (bound), Subject and Author. This
was done by draginf the table into the form. Since the author name are
mostly the same, I want to change this field to a dropdownlist but I do not
know how!. In Access, I just right click the field and select Change To
Combo Box
Could someone advice?

We're not in Kansas anymore....
Anyways, just open up the ToolBox and drag a combobox onto the form.
Then click on the combobox and a arrow box should show up in the top
right corner, click it to expand the options. Click "Use Data Bound
Items" and then you should be able to select the datasource to bind to
and then set which field to display and which field to save as the
value (useful if you want to show a user's name but track the user's
ID).
Let me know if I made sense.
Thanks,
Seth Rowe
