I think that may be exactly the case. The term "combobox" indicates to me
that jdyon is using an ActiveX control from the Controls Toolbox.
To load data into that kind of control, you need VBA
(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...c_activeX.asp).
If you don't already know about macros, don't go there.
My advice in that case is to delete the combobox and use the dropdown from
the Forms toolbar instead.

Assuming we are not talking cross purposes here - and that you have
used the dropdown box from the forms toolbar, then once you have
entered the data, you lock the form and the items you have entered
are available for selection.

Thanks Graham, how once I have done that it places all of my items on
a single line and not a drop down. Do I need to change something
else?

With the form unlocked, right click the field and select properties.
Add the entries from that dialog.
