having different display controls (eg list, combo list, text) in the same table

I'd like to create a form with multiple columns and rows. Some of the options will allow the user to input text, other others will permit them to select from a list (one or more response options).

I've provided a screenshot to help explain.

I am relatively new to access and aware of a list or combobox (display control) and where i can place a value list in the row source type. However, I can only make single columns.

Therefore, Id like to add a column that allows me to have text options, another column that shows a list, another column for a combo list, and one for a checkboxes.

How can I create a column that allows for a checkbox, another column that is a drop down list, and a third that is a combo list in the same table?

I've attached a screenshot to help explain the type of form I am hoping to create.

Have you built your tables -- this is the starting point of building a RDBMS. Once this is in place then you can build your form based upon the fields in your table. While it may appear that you have columns in your form, each item is an individual control and must be inserted and formatted as such. In forms there is no formatting of columns or rows as they don't exist.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

There are no columns in a form. Each item in your perceived columns should be a control bound to a specific field in your table. Each form is bound to only a single table. If you have multiple tables you will need to have sub forms that are bound to the tables and referenced/linked to the main form. It might be helpful to build your form using the form wizard and moving controls around in design view as you require.
