Access Combo Box Visibility

by amasa . Updated 16 years ago

Beginning on Friday a user of a supply program I wrote in Access said the pull-down with a combo box was blank. Troubleshooting together we found that she could view the source query results just fine (form in design view), but not when viewing the form. She can scroll up and down and select things out of the list. Once selected she can view it in the field. This has now happened at several of our locations. On one PC we’ve backed out all Office and Windows updates, and even started with a fresh install of Office. Nothing has made a difference. Today my PC is doing it too.

I’ve looked at Display settings, and the datasheet settings in Access. Nothing has made a difference. Since the pull-down can be scrolled and selected it seems data is there but not visible. I was thinking white letters on a white background.

Anyone have some help?
