Here's a new Access 2007 problem I encountered today:

- Create a continuous form bound to some data
- Put a combo box in the form header. Make sure the combo box is bound to some data source
- Copy a line of data and try to past it into a new record. This should be a really simple task like it is in other versions of Access
- You will see garbage characters enter themselves in the combo box and the program will issue the error that you have to select an item from the list.

As I say, no other version of Access has this problem. Has anyone else seen it or know why it's happening, or how to prevent it?

Thanks

Sounds like your paste is coming from a different character set from what Access is expecting. What is the souce of the clip?

It's just a row of regular data. Remember, I never entered the comboboxes on the top, in fact, I set them to not be a tab stop just to be sure.

I will point out that this does not happen with the same file in previous versions of Access, and I tried it on three computers with Access 2007 and I got the same thing.

Has anyone tried this out...?
