Disappearing entries

[Tumby]

PLEASE PLEASE can someone help?

I have a form designed from a table- all is well except-

Two of the field entry boxes-
let me input into them, then when I click away the entries disappear BUT if I click on the field again the entries appear.
This also happens in the table.

The form properties are set to NO for data entry.

I just cannot see where the problem is.

I have read through other threads about disappearing entries but non are the same as my problem.

loads and loads to enquire to have this solved ..
1 - are you talking about a text box or a combo box ?
2 - did you try compact and repaire at least once ?
3 - did u try copy / paste all controls to a new form and check if problem persisted ?
4 - Finaly did you try it on a different pc and the problem persisted ?
hints :
1 - u can try Me![Controlname].Requery with combo boxes as sometimes they do that, resulting from an internal ms access api glitch (ms access combo boxes are part of ms office library and are not any similler to visual studio combo box object).
2 - there is a tool provided by microsoft that does the repaire function more efficiant named jetcomp.exe look it up.
3 - lot of form corruption issues and crashes can be fixed by rebuilding forms , its simple as in 3 steps: 1st you copy all controls to a new form , 2nd you copy all vba code to new form (happens in 1 go) , 3rd retweak new form properties (such as record source and the like).
4 - if problem is pc dependant then i would suggest a reinstallation to ms office and both graphics card's driver update , directx reinstallation.

Is data being entered into thee fields via the keyboard or is data being copied and pasted into these controls?

This is probably on of those situations where you really need to zip and attach a copy of your database to a post here.

Thank you for your help.
I tried all the suggestions even on a differen PC and in the end I tried copy/paste all controls into a new form and it worked.

Thanks again!
