Select RowSource Type property as Table/Query before giving SQL query to Row Source.

Hope you will understand my answer.

You need not any ADODB object, it is very simple follow these steps.

1. Open your Access Form in Design mode
2. Select the combo box and right click and select its properties
3. You will get all properties of combo box and type the following SQL at “Row Source” Property, thats it.

select fieldname from tablename.
Example: select empname from emp;
The above query will display all employee names from emp table in combo box when you open your FORM.

Feel free to ask me any Access questions.
