Default creating a Combo box in a form

Hello,
I have a table named tblAgency with 2 fields in it. AgencyAbbrev (primary
key), and AgencyName.

In my form I have created a combo box (via wizard) selecting the
AgencyAbbrev in from my tblAgency.

My problem is, the combo box doesn't display the data. what am I doing wrong?

Thank you

Are you perhaps running v2003 with the infamous SP3 installed? This problem
is one of the most commonly reported bugs associated with this service pack.
If this is your situation, here's a page by Allen Browne with most of the
bugs and a link to Micro$oft's site where there's a hotfix:
