How can I populate a listbox with options from another table?

I'm using the form designer. I've added a listbox to the form, but the Control Data Source dropdown is blank. I was expecting to be able to select from tables and this would create the table join. What am I missing? I know I can add the individual options, but I will use the same selection on other forms and therefore prefer the table. Thank you. (Sorry, accidentally posted this to topics.)

Drop Down List - Text Field and Data Value Field

Hello.. I have a drop down list (DDL) which is being populated by a control data source (CDS). Via this CDS, I have the SELECT statement looking up a folder path and the folderid of the folder. The DDL DataTextField and the DDL DataValueFields are configured for the folderpath. This is fine for the folder location column in my table. But too, I need to store the folderid for another column in my d

What does this mean?!

Answer Accepted
I have a form which is going to be used so the end-user selects two drop-down lists and then these selections are used for exporting information via a feed. Originally, the top control data source didn't have the convert; it should be a normal int for the disasterID. So for the first drop-down list, I had the DataType=int, but this failed. If I change this to int32, I get the same error as below.

auto fill textbox on the basis of a selected option in a dropdownlist

Hi, I need to fill a label/text/textarea field with a text based on a selection in a dropdownlist. I have a control data source to get the text for the label/text/textarea. It works datawise with a second dropdownlist (targetcontrol/datasource) But it looks awful, because the texts to be filled are too large (and an HTML option can't be styled in IE). Anyone knows how to best tackle this? Thanks,
