missing combo box back color

[TomL]

Can someone tell me why, at certain times, the background color of one of my combo boxes is missing, that is to say it appears gray, not white. The combo box seems to function correctly and if you just drop down the selections and return the background is once again white.
I have attached a jpg file to show you what I mean.


Thanks,
Tom

Sounds like you're running Access 2007/SP2. If so, from Allen Browne's article on 2007 bugs, which I think addresses your problem:

"A combo may display as transparent when focus leaves it. Workaround: set the AlternateBackColor property of the the (Detail?) Section to something other than "No Color"

The definitive answer is to install the Hotfix that you can download here:

The combo boxes in your picture looks fine to me?

Thanks for the information. Alas after applying the hot fix nothing has changed. I'll try to go to plan B as soon as I find it.
