Hi,
I'm having a very odd problem... I'm pretty convinced it's due to
corruption.
When dealing with a particular subform (and the subform is not dirty): when
I click on any combo box in the subform (this DOESN'T happen when the
subform is dirty!) the upper left corner of my screen (just a small
horizonal section) becomes discolored, and the combo box expands, but I
cannot make a selection! This is not due to the rowsource or the
controlsource being wrong or anything like that. Furthermore, once this
happens the first time, no combo boxes in Access will work at all (including
the ones in the properties dialog - read, built-in combos). This is only
remedied when Access is exited and restarted.
It only happens on this form in this database, but on multiple workstations
with different OS.
I have tried importing into a new .mdb.
I have tried re-creating the forms (both parent and child) and pasting the
controls onto them.
I have tried /decompile, and compact + repair.
Is it worth my time to try recreating the form from scratch? Controls and
all? I don't really want to do this...
The only work-around I've found is to mark the form as dirty on the Enter
event of the combo... but this doesn't work very well with my customized
save routine.
Has anyone experienced this? Any other corruption-fighting tricks?
Thanks,
Colin
