Use a Table to Add Data

A Combo Box can look up up data from a Table or a Query. This example will look up movie ratings (G, PG, R) from a Rating Table. First, let's create the Rating Table.

 

1. Try it: Create a Rating Table

Go to Create ->Tables->Table Design.

 

A new, blank Table will open in Design View. The Table Tools should be available.

 

Try This, Too: Add the Fields

Field Name: RatingID

Data Type: AutoNumber

Go to Table Tools->Table->Primary Key.

 

Field Name: Rating

Data Type: Text

 

Do This, Now: Save the Table

Go to File->Save.

Enter the name: tblRating.

 

Keep going..
