Hi Alex, my question was basically - Should you turn all F.K. fields in a Table into  Combo Boxes ? Since you might make those fields in 1 Table before realizing that they could be F.K.'s from other Tables, is there a  low  # of values the field should generally be able to hold when you should make it a Combo Box (vs. a Text field with some repeating values)? (Ex: Should CompanyName be a Combo Box?) Thanks!

Reply from Alex Hedley:

If you mean a Lookup Field in the Table then no. Keep it as a number.
If you are going to reference these on another Form then yes a combo makes more sense as you can see their name instead of just 1.
