Is there any way I can sort of give a label to one of the selections in a
combo box? Meaning-i want there to be a selection in the combo box that
represents a certain field, but does not have the same name as that field.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

As a field? Generally combo-boxes would contain valued from a table or list
that you create, not a list of fields. What do you mean?
 
My mistake- didnt mean field. The combo box contains values from a table.
However i want the combo box to have a certain value that represents one of
the values in the table without having the same name as that value. Cna this
be done?
Thanks
 
That would typically be done by making your source table contain two
columns. For example, your source table might have employee number and
employee name. You could then use the number field in your combo box. Most
people would actually let the user pick the name from the box, then store
the number in the underlying field.
