The Lookup Wizard
You can select Lookup Wizard as a field’s data type.
The Lookup Wizard guides you through the steps to create a list of
values from which you can choose. You can select the values from a
table or a query, or you can create a list of your own values.

When working with the Lookup Wizard, you
should be aware of a few things. When you create a form based on a
table with a Lookup field, the form automatically displays a combo box
(or another designated control) for that field. As you add records to
the table that is the source for the lookup values, the new information
appears in the list.
