Combo and List Boxes: Setup and Formatting in Access Databases

In this video, I'll guide you through the process of setting up combo boxes and list boxes. We will be working with a basic contact form that has two combo boxes - one for salutations and another for organizational details. I will demonstrate how to bind these to data from relevant tables and queries, as well as to a hard-coded value list. We will explore design settings, diving deep into parameters such as record source, control source, row source, column count, and format. I will also highlight the process of hiding unnecessary data fields from your users while ensuring they get the most relevant information. Lastly, we will discuss list boxes and their usage, which follows a similar setup but differs in the display mode. Stick around and let's enhance your Access programming skills together!
