Hi Rodriguez,

It sounds like you changed the name of a field in some table from Pro_Code
to some other name. Open the form in design view. Click on View > Properties
to display the properties dialog if it is not already displayed.

1.) Click on View > Field list to display the field list (if it is not
already displayed). The field list includes a listing of fields that are
available to your form. I'm assuming that you are using a bound form (ie. a
form that has a recordsource).

2.) Select the drop down control (combo box). Make sure that the name of
this control is displayed in the blue title bar of the properties dialog.

3.) Select the Data tab on the properties dialog. The first item reads
"Control Source". The value shown in the control source must match exactly
one of the field names displayed in the field list. If not, click into the
control source property. Use the dropdown arrow to select the correct field
name.

4.) Save your changes and test your form. Is it now working properly?
