what is the MS Access equivalent to Excel's "Pick from list"?

Is this part of a tables data Validation Rules in Access, like it is in Excel?
I want to limit the data entry to values that are pre-existing on another table.

Is this how I would do so?
 

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
On an Access form, a combo box would have a row source that supplies the choices in a list. To control this,the combo's values can be typed in as a list of entries (value list), or the choices are governed by binding the control to either a table or query (each of which is a type of source) or a field that belongs to the record source for the form. To prevent users from entering a value that is not in the list, you set the 'limit to list' property to true for the control. You can also prevent list edits, and trap for values that are not in the list (On Not In List).
