Access 2010 combo box

So the solution would be to link the Employee table to the Current Status and checkmodify the combobox accordingly...It would be most helpful if you share a sample of this database..

Hi John. I am trying to get away from having a separate Current Status table since I think the values should come from tblEmployee where CurrentStatus (Y/N) permission = True. I recall there is a way to do this using a union query but have not used union queries before. I can't attach the database (due to confidentiality agreeement) but I can tell you that I am simply trying to populate a combo box on a form which is bound to the CurrentStatus field in tblCase with First Names from tblEmployee where CurrentStatus is True and also offer the value "Closed" in the pick-list, Hope that makes sense.

Then post a simplified example of the database with generic data, ...just to illustrate the issue..

Remember, without a full understanding of the design, ...we are limited to what we can propose as an "answer"

For example,
...it is no clear how a status of "closed" relates to the employee and the clients,...and under what conditions is it "Closed" or "Open"?

Thank you Fabrice, that is exactly what I was looking for. Seems so simple now. Also understand and agree with Pat but "Current Status" is not an accurate label/field name. This field is used to show who is looking after the file now. And the client wants "Closed" to appear in the list. Thank you everyone for your assistance.
