Access Combo Box

Dave

In a shared (over a LAN) database, one combo box on one form comes up blank
on some (not all) PC's. I cannot find what is causing this. Can anyone help?

Unfortunately, it sounds like the errant PCs arre running Access 2003 and
they've apparently been updated to the SP3 service pack, which is buggier
than the Great Dismal Swamp! One of the most common bug reported involves
comboboxes with disappearing data! The field(s) in the cbo, in the underlying
table, have some kind of formatting in place. This is often the simple >
used to force UpperCase. Remove any formatting from the fields and things
should work short term, but the definitive solution is to install the hotfix
for SP3.

Here's a link to Allen Browne's site where you can find the latest news about
these bugs, as well a link to the Hotfix:
