ComboBox from a table

Just starting on an application for inventory, and the very first form has me pulling my hair out!

I am making a login screen based on usernames from a table in my database.
I first created my form and combobox and went over to properties and bound the data from there. Didnt work. ComboBox fills with 3 identical errors. (I'm sorry I can say what they are, I'm not in front of that machine) I dont think this is a coincidence since there are 3 records(users) in my table.

So, I deleted my combobox, and after checking online for instruction, I went to data sources, my database, table, and 'users' column. Then selected Combobox from the dropdown and dragged it to my form. Now it's blank.

I did stuff similar to this a few years back in VB7 and I dont remember it hassling me too much... what am I doing wrong?

I'm using Access 2007, VS10 Beta. Should I go get out my VS7, and start over before I get too far?

It would definitely be beneficial to know what the Error is that you are getting.
