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).

Combo.Rowsource="table1.field1" means that field1 contains Pounds,Dollars,etc., besides table1.field2 which contains 1,2,etc. Surely, you can hardcode it, but it's much better to have it in table, just from maintainability standpoint.
