I'm now wondering if the two problems aren't related. Ever since I
deleted the mysterious tables, whenever I create a combo box which
accesses the main table, when I switch to the Form view and tab from
field to field, when I tab out of any of the combo boxes, I get the
same message. "The value you entered isn't valid for this field. For
example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that
is larger than the field size setting permits." This is incorrect, the
field sizes and types match in every case.
Any ideas? TIA
