However, I can fix that by fiddling with it when I can actually *get* to my university office and use a Windows machine. Then I can change the form to let me pick by number rather than name, and have it autofill the name rather than the number. Right now I am not venturing out on the slick ice, period. Okay, I have to refill a prescription, but other than that am not going anywhere
are you good with Access and macros and VB etc? if so, its easy to change - you just have to go into the after update event procedure for the second combo box and make it select by code instead of colour

if this all sounds like gobbldygook then dont do it
