WIZARD PROBLEM 1

[LMHODNETT]

I have been trying for days to get the wizard to build a list box or a combo box to work for me. Everytime I start the wizard, I get down to the section where you choose the data sort and then it craps out. What is my problem?? this is getting very frustrating. I have been trying to build a database for taking special orders in our store for months and I can not seem to get past building these boxes that will give the data I need for part of this project. If anyone has any help, pleaee advise.

Thanks,
Larry

what do you mean by, it craps out?

What I mean is that I get an error at that point. The error is "Data cannot be retrieved from the source. You must select a different table or query to continue in the wizard." It happens every time I use the wizard.

Ok, what is the name of the table you try to use in your combox?

[LMHODNETT]

THE TABLE IS NAMED "CUSTOMERS".

what is the name of the form you want to use the combox?
on which table/query is the form build?
you want to use the combox bound or unbound?

May be the wizard files are corrupted.. Try a re-install of Access if possible.

PAMPERS,
Thanks for your help. I am trying to understand the difference between bound and unbound and that affects what I am trying to do. When I get a better understanding, I can probably use so help.
Yhanks for your time.
