My Combo Boxes are turning black after I select a Different One

[nouveauricheinvestments]

I have a form with a series of combo boxes on it and every time I
select a value from a combo box and then that combo box loses focus,
it's turns to black like I can't see the text. I have to select the
value in the combo box again to see what it is. Has anyone ever heard
of that? It is driving me nuts. It doesn't happen all the time
either. Just pretty much most of the time.

Any ideas? What do you think the problem is?

Allen Browne has this bug report for v2007:

A combo may display as transparent when focus leaves it. Workaround: set the
AlternateBackColor property of the the (Detail?) Section to something other
than "No Color", e.g. #80000027.

Sounds similar to what you're experiencing. Probably worth the 10 seconds it
would take to try it out.

Good luck!
