Re: Combo box in a Form

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Steven, any chance this is Access 2003?
And did you recently install Service Pack 3 for Office 2003?
(Help | About will give you version and SP info.)

There are known problems with this service pack, including blank columns in the combo if you have anything in the Format property of the field in your table. We have half a dozen SP3 bugs listed at the top of this page:

If that's not the case, post back with info about your version, and the properties of the combo.

I have a combo box in a form. It used to work fine for years but started misbehaving recently. When I scroll through entries in the form, the contents of the combo box are ok but I can not use the form to create a new entry. When I open the combo box to select an entry, a list opens in the box but it is empty i.e. it contains blanks.
Any suggestions?
Steven
