In this Lesson we show you how to make Professional looking Screen Forms by adding Drop Down Selection Lists to them.
Drop Down Lists are called "Combo Boxes" in MS-Access. They enable easy and accurate data entry by providing simple "Pick and Click" functionality.
You will be able to use Drop Down Lists on the Member Dogs Form to make it easier to ADD New Dogs onto the SDC Database System.
The Step by Step Guide which is available below for this lesson shows exactly what needs to be done.

Watch the following YouTube Video Tutorial about Creating Drop Down Lists.
We recommend you use the SUMMARY GUIDE
to follow along step by step with the Tutorial Video.
The YouTube Video is free to watch as many times as you want, and the Start and Finish Databases, including the PDF Sep By Step Guide, and Business Analysis Document are available in the one package at a small cost which can be paid for and downloaded using PayPal.
Our Access Learning Modules are designed for complete beginners, and they have been extensively trialed with High School students learning Access for the first time. They have a proven track record of being able to get everyone up and running with Microsoft Access - the world's most popular Relational Database for Education and Small Business.
We highly recommend using the Step by Step Summary Guide as well as the other support materials to maximise learning outcomes.
Our students have found the Summary Guide to be far more useful than re-watching the Video, when it comes time for them to apply their newly acquired Access skills to Database Build tasks.

One known issue is that if you PayPal buy using Mircosoft Edge, it often displays prices with A's around them like: A$2.50A.
The Edge purchase will work okay, but it is probably best to do Pay Pal purchases using Google Chrome as your browser.
