Default Pick from list to use in a field

I have O2003. Currently I have a text field in which I have default
text and edit as needed. What I'd like to have is a pick from list
that I can select from to enter into that field. I'm guessing this
would be two fields. One with data that I can continually update with
new entries (so the list would grow) and the other field that has the
data populated by picking an item from the list (or possibly entering
directly).

Is this something readily available via the current controls, or is
there some coding involved?

Thank you.

Shawn

Coding would be involved. You might start with the information on combo
boxes at http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=32. I'd do this with a
single combo box control.
