Dear List:

There's something simple going wrong here, but I can't spot it. 

I have a combo box which is bound to a field 'fldRAHPaymentTermsID'. The data source of the form is 'qryRentalAgreementHeaderByOrderNumber' which has 'fldRAHPaymentTermsID' as one of its fields.  And the field shows up in the Control Source of the combo box.  

The combo box has tblPaymentTerms as its row source - a table with two fields - a payment term ID and the payment term description. Bound column is 1.

When I try to select a value form the combo box it I get a message in the status line; "Control can't be edited; it's bound to unknown field 'fldRAHPaymentTermsID'.  If I try to set the combo box value in code I get and error "You can't assign a value to this object". (Of course not, it's bound to an unknown field.)

If I open the query, I can insert a value in the 'fldRAHPaymentTermsID' field in the table view of the query.  So it's got to be something in the form, Yes?

MTIA,
