    Post Populating a combo Box

    I have a combo box on a form and need to populate it with data in an MS Access table.

    What do I need to do?

    use the wizard, that is what I do...

    In design view, use your toolbox (with the wizard enabled) and then click on the combo box, and then click (not size) on the form, you will htne be presented with all the information you will need.
    Then go back and change the properties of the item, and figure out where that data went.
    I don't remember, but this is how I figured it out. I was then able to create new ones.

    Right click on the combo box in design view. When the options screen comes up click on "All" make sure that the "Source" is pointing to the table you want to pull the data from.

    If I right click on the combo box on the form all I get is cut, paste, bring to front, back, properties.

    Don't see an "all".

    I'm using vb6

    Make sure you are in Design View.
