Using combo boxes and list boxes
Access has two types of controls??”list boxes and combo boxes??”that enable you to show lists of
data from which a user can select. The list box is always open and ready for selection, whereas the
combo box has to be clicked to open the list for selection. Also the combo box enables you to enter
a value that is not on the list and takes up less room on the form.
