Combo Box Selection

[Joe]

I have a combo box linked to a field in a table. When I
click the down arrow on the combo box I get the list of
items stored in that field. The problem I have is when I
try to select one of the items listed, the item will
highlight when I put the cursor on it but clicking won't
select it. Clicking does nothing. I have checked
everything I can think of to no avail. Anybody else seen
this and know why this is happening? BTW I am working in
Access 2002.

TIA
Joe

It sounds like it is not updateable. There may be a number of causes:

1. The Properties AllowEdits / AllowAdditions of the Form is set to False /
No.

2. If the RecordSource of the Form is a Query that based on 2 or more
Tables, the Query may not be updateable. Open the Query by itself, i.e. not
through the Form and see if you can edit the data or add new Records.

3. The Property Locked of the ComboBox is set to True.
