Combo Box: Key Column
There are
two Columns in this Combo Box:
Column 1:
MovieID
Column
2:Movie
Only one
column will be seen in the Drop Down List. If the Key Column is not
hidden then Users will see the MovieID, Column 1, and
not the name of the Movie, Column 2.
By
default, the Combo Wizard hides the Key Column, so
Users will see the Movie name.

You May
Have Noticed: This walk through the Combo Box Wizard accepted
the default to Hide the Key Column. Why is this so? This Form saves
the Primary Key, not the Text, to the Table so it goes with the
Default. In a Normalized database there are only Key numbers, not
Text, when you get to the final summary (tblMovieRented).
