I recently received a new computer and my combo boxes in ACCESS are blank. I was using ACCESS 2000 and now have ACCESS 2003. The data is there but not visible. I can run the query in design view and all works. How do I get the combo box to display the data?

check the data property for each combo box. Maybe those are for some reason empty.

I'm seeing the same problem on a few machines here, but was disturbed to find that, on one of the two machines the database is working on, Access 2003 is running it and it works fine... yet, the two 'new' machines for the individuals experiencing the problem, the comboboxes come up blank. Did this get resolved, if so, how?

I've tried just about everything (and I'm not an Access programmer, just trying to troubleshoot) that I know to try to figure this out. I'm wondering if there's some sort of OCX or something 'missing' on the newer machines that might be responsible.

There is an Access 2003 bug. If there is any formatting at the table level on any field in your combo box it will appear blank.
