In this Microsoft Access tutorial, you'll learn how to adjust combo boxes to display text values instead of ID numbers, ensuring your forms present user-friendly information. By following this guide, you'll be able to make combo box configurations using queries and format them correctly for a seamless user experience.

Cooper from Loveland, Ohio (a Platinum Member) asks: I created a combo box in my Microsoft Access form to let users select a customer name. The combo box pulls data from a table of customers, which includes IDs and names. For example, the table lists 1 - Kirk, 2 - Spock, and 3 - Bones. However, when I select a name in the combo box it displays the ID (like 1, 2, or 3) instead of the name (Kirk, Spock, or Bones). How can I adjust the combo box so that the names are displayed instead of the IDs?
