Access 2007 - Horizontal Drop Down Should Be Vertical?

Access 2007
 
In one table on which I am working I am trying to create a lookup for a particular field.
 
This lookup is to have 2 mutually exclusive text options (let us say apples or oranges for example).
 
These 2 text values do not exist on other tables.
 
I have set the field up through the lookup wizard and it looks OK apart from one thing.
 
When I inspect the table to make sure that I have set things up correctly the lookup in the field is there with the apples and oranges that I set up in the lookup wizard and this is what I expected.
 
However these 2 text values, instead of appearing in a vertical list appear in a horizontal one.
This looks wrong to me.
 
Can somebody please point me in the direction of what I have done wrong?
 
TIA for any replies.

It sounds as if you are missing the delimiter (normally a semi-colon) between the two values.
Open the table in design view
Click on field
Click on the Lookup Tab
If the row source is Apples Oranges change it to Apples;Oranges
Make sure Column Count is set to 1
Row Source Type should be Value List
