Default Don't understand the relationship between a combo box and a table

First, be aware that the general consensus among regular Access users is
that more than about 30 fields in a table is fairly unusual, and usually
indicates that the table/database needs a bit more normalizing.

Access adds indexes of it's own, "behind the curtain" so to speak. Have you
opened the table in design view, clicked on the Indexes button and inspected
what indices are showing?

Hi there

Currently I am getting the following message:

"The operation failed. There are too many indexes on table 'Orders'.
Delete
some of the indexes on the table and try the operation again."

In my table, I am trying to change a text box into a multi=select combo
box.

There are 45 fields in my table of which 40 have this multi-select combo
box.

I don't understand where these indexes are being created.

I do have 1 primary key in my table.

Thank you
