Combo boxes malfunctioning

I have an Access 2003 application that has worked well for a number of
years. Recently, some of the combo boxes are not working properly.
They are multi column drop down lists but only the last column
displays the data; The other columns are blank. If you look at the
row source, the data appears correctly in the query datasheet view.
The other combo box properties have not changed. If the user makes a
selection from the information that is displayed, the value from the
bound column is properly stored.

The database is stored on a network drive and is linked to tables in
another Access database on the same drive. The error occurs from all
workstations that open the database and also occurs if the user
downloads an MDE file made from the main database. However, it DOES
NOT happen if you log into the system remotely and open the database.

Any thoughts?

Is this happening to only that database or are the combo boxes having
problems in all of your databases? If it is only that database is it all the
forms in that database or just one specific form. If it is one form then is
it all the combo boxes or just a couple certain ones.

I would say check out the other properties like Column Widths make sure they
aren't all 0's with the last one being a size.
This is a guess without further details.
