I have tried this, but when I run the form, I get a dropdown scrollable list of numeric 1's 2's and 3's for my entire table's money field.

As I navigate through the records of my table, I want the combo-box to display the words "Pounds" if the table.field = 1, "Dollars" if the table.field = 2 and "Yen" if the table.field = 3. If I want to then change from "Pounds" to "Dollars", I can click on the combo-box drop-down arrow and select the word "Dollars" (this must also change the numeric field from value of 1 to a value of 2).
I realize that I will have to type these words ("dollars", "pounds", "yen") somewhere in the combo-box properties, but where and how?
