Is there a better way to have the values 0 thru 9 in the RowSource as values and get them to save as numeric values in the table? It's working to show the numeric field values in my table using ControlSource, but MS says don't do it that way. Confused, but working on it.

Hello Steve,

Do these values need to be numeric? IOW, are you going to do math with these values? If it is simply a status code field (or something like that), you can avoid this issue altogether by using a character field of width 1. Input mask of '9' on the field would only allow 0-9 to be entered.

HTH,
