Using Tables for Form dropdowns

Hi,

I am currently trying to use a table for a dropdown in my database, however when using the form i have built when i select the dropdown it firther populates that table.

I am fairly new so will need fairly basic instructions, however what i need to do is select the value of the dropdown and this to then it will add the ID to my Main table (which is linked by the ID) without adding any rows to the dropdown table.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

The form should be bound to the main table, and the combo should be bound to the ID field in the main table. Sounds like you have it bound to the dropdown table.
