Drop Down Box

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Using the wizard, I created a Database result region that displays
information from a database. With the same wizard I created a search form on
the same page which is using a text box to let users to type the word they
are looking in the datasheet.
How can I change that text box for a DROP DOWN BOX .
I created a drop down box and populated it with the choices I want, but
don't know how to make the form where the drop down box is to look up for
the information in the database.
Any help will be very appresiated.

Thanks.

Thank you very much Kathleen for your help.
I worked it out already but your reference gave me the answer to another
question that I had.
Thanks for your help.
