I have a situation where the table field names that provide data for the
columns in a combo box are too long and I can not rename the fields. Is
there anyway to rename column heads in this combo box drop list?
 
Hi.

Open the table in design view. In the properties for each field is one
called "Caption". You can type in what caption you would like the user to
see. For example, if you have a field named "custname", you can put
"Customer Name" in the caption property, and that is how it will show up on
forms, combo boxes, list boxes, etc.

Hope this helps.
 
Thank you for the fast & helpful answer
