Combo Box Doesn't Work After Conversion

[Vambo]

I'm currently converting some '97 db's to 2003, a combo box on one of the
forms which allows users to pick the financial period (1-12) no longer works.
The dropdown list (populated from a table) is still there, but clicking on a
period has no effect, the default (current period -1) refuses to change.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi NT, thanks, but I have tried that to no avail..........

are you sure of the bound value for that combo/list control...??

Hi again NT, it's unbound, the value entered is then passed as a control to a
subsequent form. I'm considering not requesting the value until we get to the
2nd form, but it's not so elegant and the users are used to the current
method, and you know how hard it is to re-train 'em !!!!

a combobox/listbox always has a bound value; when one selects a record
within the combo/list - there may display several columns of info to help the
user select the correct record. but once the user selects one record - only
one of the fields becomes the bound value of this control......and often it
is not a field that is displayed to the user.

the fact that you have deleted and remade the combo/list box - - and it is
still not working for you, makes me think that you are not working with the
expected/correct bound value....

it is the bound value that would be passed to another control/form...
