1 Apples
2 Bananas

....which in Access comes from a SQL.

TIA - Bob

Default Dropdown List....

If you mean a data validation dropdown, you can use a worksheet formula
to combine the values in two columns, then show the combined values in
the data validation list. There's an example on the following page:

Under Data Validation, look for "Data Validation Columns"
