If I use the wizard to attach the fields to text boxes, it works fine, but if
I create one in design mode, and then select the arrow for the drop down box,
the table that I need doesn't show up. I've tried to select the table via the
expression builder, and typing it in such as "table.field". and it doesn't
work. I get this instead #name? I've looked in the help and all it says is
"look at the pull down menua" Please help this is frustrating. What I'm doing
now worked just fine with Office XP
 
Have you set the form's Record Source property? This property tells Access
where to get records for the form. Once you've set it to your table, you
should be able to set the Control Source of textbox and other controls.
