Hey there folks--
I'm just starting out in Access (after spending several years in FoxPro) and I'm having trouble with a (theoretically) simple combobox problem.
I have two tables (main and category), the relations go like this:
main category
pkey |--> pkey
ncategory --| ccatdesc
(main.ncategory relates to ncategory.pkey). I would like a combobox that displays category.ccatdesc (category description text) corresponding to the category in main.ncategory, but has a list of choices containing all records in category.
I Know this is simple (at least it should be), but the way I have it set up now, Access beeps at me when I try to select a different category (says I can't edit the control; it's is bound to [ncategory].) Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
