CmbBoxes built in A2007 not showing A2003

[Pisteuo]

Bound combo boxes that I built in A2007 are not displaying on machines running A2003. I used the 2002-2003 file format though, which was the default new files.

The bound values are being posted to the table.

7 of 9 combo boxes are not displaying values. The application has two separate forms that have the same bound combo boxes. The 7 combo boxes behave the same on those forms as well.

I am aware of the listbox issue that A2003 had, however listboxes have worked fine on the A2003 machines.

Thanks for your help.

make sure that there is NO FORMATTING applied to the fields at table level.

The Listbox issue also applied to Comboboxes with the dropdowns appearing empty. The short term fix is as, Bob said, to remove any formatting applied to the fields to be displayed. The definitive answer is to apply the hotfix to the machines running v2003:

The Comboboxes and Listboxes demonstrating no problem apparently have no formatting of the fields.

Thank you.

The @ symbol was in the format property of the problem fields at table level.

I will test it at work tomorrow, but I'm sure that was it. Thanks again for your help.

Almost sure to be! This was the most frequently reported bug associated with the 'buggier than the Great Dismal Swamp' 2003/SP3 service pack!

Glad we could help!
