I want to be able to display the data in a record of a particular field -in a drop down list - when in DS view. I have created a DB for a lingerie company and sizes differ for different items. When recording an order for a specific item I want to be able to chose one of the available corresponding sizes from a list.

You could use a List Box or a Combo Box.
Is that what you are after?

Not that simple. I am on a subform in datasheet view. For any particular item I need the available sizes. This varies from one item number to another. A list box or combo taken from the relevant table would give the list of size ranges for each record not just those sizes specific to a particular record. At the moment I have a anotherlittle linked subform on the mainsubform that is shown over the datasheet when the + is clicked and shows the sizes that are available for that item. However that does not allow a user to choose a size from it.

You may have to do this by runnig a query in the background. But to be honest, I'm in over my head.
Maybe Jennifer Sumn or Bryco or one of the other wizards around here will pick up on this thread and offer a solution.
