Combo Box 2 part question

[jeremy0028]

I have a combo box called gender using the wizard i used i will type the values i want. I used male, female. which stores the information into a table called patient info under a field called gender

How do you set the default property so it would be male evertime a user adds patient record into the database.

On a report instead of displaying Male Female how would u display an x instead.

You can set the default value in the properties of the combo box. It is on the Data tab. Depending on your users, you may find that you have to check fairly often that Ms, Mrs and Miss have not been left Male. Which leads me to another point - it can be useful to set the gender when the title is entered.
Regarding the report, I guess you mean a some sort of checkbox set up, however, checkboxes do not translate well to other programs, so perhaps you could include a textbox under each heading with a control source something like:
=Iif([Gender]="Female","X","")
