Getting Field onto Form to work with Access

D

data cruncher

When I first set up my form for my Access Database using the Wizard, there
was one field that I did not Modify from Text to a Drop Down Field. I deleted
the text field on the form, and Inserted a DropDown Box, which I named the
name of the field that was originally there. However, by doing it this way,
my form does not allow me to post results back to the database. I get an
error message that says cannot access database. If I delete the field from
the form, the form works perfectly.

How do I add my field back to the form? I can't get any new field into the
form that will allow it to work. There must be a way to code it so that the
Access database recognizes it.

I got it. There was a mismatch in data type (numveric vs. text) that I was
using on the Form vs. the Table in the database.
