filter on a table shows up black

[leok31]

Ive created a table in Access but when I click on the filter option, it comes out blank.
Im using VBA code to populate the table from SQL server.
All other column work fine.

I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like. There is data in that column.
Does anyone know what could cause this behavior?

There are Access Options settings that control this behaviour at the bottom of the Current Database section.
