In a database I have of Record Albums - I have a separate table for the
"genre" of music - However, when I inclde the genre in a form, it shows the
auto number of the genre and not the actual name - like "rock" "pop"
etc..How can I get it show the actual name and not the number?

Thanks
 
You could make the control that displays the "genre" value a combo-box.
Bind the control to the autonumber column, but make its width "0" inches,
then the name will show.
