I am trying to change the contents of the combo box drop-down menu from
integers to Roman numerals. I originally had the integers typed in the "Row
Source" field in the property box as I had created the combo box using a
wizard. I tried to delete the integers and typed in Roman numerals but it
didn't work. Please help. Thanks very much.

You'll need to create a Table with a Text field for the roman numerals
- XII is not recognized by most computers as a numeric string!

Delete your combo box; create the Table; and then create a new combo
based on the table with the Roman field. You can probably save some
time if the wizard created a table for you by just adding a new Text
field to the table, fill in the Roman numerals, and then delete the
numeric field.
