"I created a query that selects the user ID adn user name from the table but it only shows me one name in the combo box. I am sure that I am missing a setting somewhere."
Do you want the combo to show names but in actuality return the user id? If so, do the following: Create your source for the combo. It will probably be a query. The first column should be the user id, the next two column should be first and last name or last name and first name. Now, in the properties box for the combo box, there will be a field for the number of columns. Choose 3. You want to return all three columns from the query. Then, there should be a property for column widths. Set this to 0";1";1". This makes the first column invisible and shows the other two columns. In the table behind the form, the user id will be saved. Hope that makes sense.
