drop down boxes

[NAS]

Certain drop down boxes I have in a database are blank. When other users use
the database on different computers, they are not blank, the only difference
between our computers is this one has XP and the others have 2000. We use
Office 2003, Access version 11.

Check the version of Access. If you have SP3 installed, I believe this is a
known problem.

Microsoft released a hotfix for some of the bugs that were introduced in SP3
for Office 2003:

MS list of Known Issues in SP3 is in this article:

Check Allen Brownes site:

- "Combo is blank if RowSource table field has a Format property entry"
- "Access crashes if RowSource is a table with more than 31 fields"

Thanks. This seems to be the answer that most people are getting so I will
give it a try.
