Can I create a drop down menu in an Access table? How?
I have some columns in my table that contain a specific range of data. Can I
create a drop down menu from within that table so I can select my input and not have to type it or can drop downs only be created in forms? I haven't done this since using Office97 and can't find what I need. Thanks for any help.

Do not work data directly in a table --- use a form.

It's a mess, and will cause far more confusion and annoyance than benefit. See http://www.mvps.org/access/lookupfields.htm for a critique. Instead, use tables for their intended purpose - storing data - and use a simple Form based on your table for interaction with the data. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]
