OK, I hear you. Replace the Combobox by a list box.
In the properties of the control, on the first tab, you should see an 
entry callled List Entries.
Enter your list, typing each one and then pressing Shift+Return to move 
to the next line of your list. When you click outside of the property 
field, you will notice that the list has been created with each entry 
between double quotes, separated by a semi-colon.

Close the properties window and save your form. When you open it up in 
edit mode, you will see the list that you had entered as a dropdown 
list, choosing one of the entries will select it, and this will be 
written to the underlying table when you either save the record or move 
to next one.
