According to Access, the problem is that I've got a mismatch in the field
types. The ID field and auto number and the staff name field is a text.


Make sure that the Bound Column property of the combo box is the value which
you actually want to save. Normally this WOULD be a numeric ID, being saved
into a numeric foreign key field. If that's not what you want to do, change
it.
