I have a table called Profile_Table
I have a table called IT_Table

Then i have Query called HandOut_Query

In this query i have the column FIRSTNAME from Profile_Table and column ITUNIT from IT_Table.

Then i created a form called
HandOut_Form

In this form i want a combobox so i can select from all the FIRSTNAME that are stored in the Profile_Table and another Combobox so i can select from all the ITUNIT from the IT_Table

How do i setup the combobox to display all values from a column?
I dont want to change the table settings since i use these columns for other things... should i create a new value in each table and base that on the column data i want?

On your form, add an input, right click on it and change it to a combo box. Go into its properties, click on the data tab, change the Row Source Type to Table/Query, click on the elipses in the Row Source and build a query based on the table you want to feed this, in that query bring down the field you want to use and that's it.
