Backstyle of List Box Issue

[JamesJ]

The problem went away for a while but now it's back,
I have a combo box populated with a lookup field. When
I make a selection the Back Style appears to change from
Normal to Transparent. This occurs in some but not all cbo selections.
I'm using Access 2007 SP1.

From Allen Browne's 2007: The Good, the Bad and the Buggy

http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html

Search the page for "Combo become Transparent"

This is a bug in 2007, and Allen gives a workaround. You could probably
benefit from looking at all the bugs in 2007 that he documents here!

The workaround worked!
Changed the Alternate Back Color for the detail section to
something other than No Color.
I should visit AllenBrowne's site more often.
I've have the site saved for some time but....

Thanks,
James

Glad you got it to work! Allen really is (cover your ears, Allen) the "old
man" of Access! If you can't find on Allen's site, or Stephen Leban's, you
probably shouldn't be doing it!
