Default Drop down menus - 03-13-2006 , 06:03 PM






How do I make a drop down menu that would let you choose Male or Female?
Is this a querry, form, or what? Would love a step by step on how to do
this.

When you say "drop down menu", do you mean an actual menu option (at the
very top of your screen, like the standard Access File menu) or do you mean
on your form?

On your form is pretty simply - drag a Combo from the toolbox onto your
form, then set the following values in the Properties dialog:

RowSourceType = ValueList
RowSource = Male;Female

If you want to store this value, you'll need to "bind" it to a datafield on
your form. This would save the actual "Male" or "Female" value, so make sure
you bind it to a Text column.
