I am afraid you greatly overestimate the influence that MVPs have with
Microsoft.

|| ||| In Access 2003, I have a Combo box in a form with one of the columns
||| formatted Yes/No (the table the data comes from is also yes/no
||| data). When the Combo Box was dropped-down, the column correctly
||| showed "Yes" or "No"...until I installed Office 2003 SP3. Now, the
||| column shows "-1" or "0" now matter that the format property is set
||| to "Yes/No".
|||
||| Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
