I made a combo box on a form of Titles of employees
I have a query of Titles of Employees
I know how to put a control box on the form but I can't seem to get it to open that particular query
Can you help

Is this a criteria selection form you are talking about? In which case the combo box you are using is unbound to any controls from a table or query. If you place the unbound combo box in the forum using the wizard, just make sure it looks up the values from a table or query, choose query, and then choose the query you want it to look up from. Or, if not using the wizard, just click the little arrow beside "row source" and scroll down until you find the query you want.
As for having 2 combo boxes on the same form, it shouldnt be a problem unless the macros that drive them are not set up properly. Make sure there are separate control buttons for each box-- unless the 2 boxes are meant to define a range of data, such as a beginning and ending date, in which case one button would suffice for both.
