Hidden Text in a list box
Hi, im a yr 12 IT student and ive been having some troubles with a list box
ive created. i've made a custom dialog box to replace a simple parameter query which is working fine linking the form to my query, however when i click the drop down list none of the text is showing. The scroll bars for the drop down list is there, and when i rollover the list box its highlighted as if there is text there, but there is not. When i click something in the text box it correctly links the form to my query, but the problem is i dont no what i have selected because i cant see the text in the list. Please Help! |

Hidden Text in a list box
JR,
Have a look at this link for the SP3 bug. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674 "Combo box controls and list box controls display no value or incorrect values in Access 2003 after you install Office 2003 Service Pack 3." And a few more problems SP3 introduced. Description of the Access 2003 post-Service Pack 3 hotfix package: December 18, 2007 - 945674 If the field to which the combo box is bound has a Format property setting for the field in the table, then yes, this is a bug that has been reported by many ACCESS users during past weeks. It apparently is a bug in Office 2003 SP3, which was released by MS a short time ago. MS is aware of the bug and is working on how to fix it. In the meantime, the "complete workaround" is to remove the Format property's value from the field's properties in the table's design view Jeanette Cunningham "JR" wrote in message ...
