Create an unbound list box, drop-down list box, or combo box that displays fixed values

1. Open a form in Design view or a data access page in Design view.
   
   
2. Make sure that the Control Wizards tool is pressed in the toolbox.

   Note   Wizards are not available in a stand-alone data access page, or when you point a data access page to a database other than the one currently open. In this case, you will have to create a list box or drop-down list box on your own.

3. Click the List Box tool , the Dropdown List tool , or the Combo Box tool in the toolbox.
   
   
4. On the form or data access page, click where you want to place the list box, drop-down list box, or combo box.
   
   
5. Follow the instructions in the wizard dialog boxes. When the wizard asks how you want to get the values for the list, select the option that says you'll type in the values that make up the list. When the wizard asks whether you want to store the value or remember it for later use, select the option that says you'll remember it for later use.
