Empty Combo Box

DB Rookie

I have combo box on a form that is supposed to get info from a table called
Presentations.

Presentations has only one column in it called Training Presentations.

When I try to have the combo box fill with the data it is empty. Any ideas
why it won't show up. Other boxes on the form work.

Open the form in design view, check the Row source property of the combo, do
you have any sql there? If you dont then add one, if you do, check it, run
the sql without the combo to see if you have any data displayed.
It also could be that in the SQL you have a filter that doesnt return any
records

What's the Row Source property of the combo? What's its Control Source
(the field into which the value will be stored)? If you open the
[Presentations] table directly do you see the data? What are you doing
to "have the combo box fill with data" - that's an odd turn of phrase,
and I wonder what you're actually doing?
