background color of my combo-box changes to black?

[Eric]

I have put a combo-box on a form with a black background color.
The background color of the combo-box is white, but the moment you make
a selection from the list in the combo-box and you lose the focus, the
background
control of the combo-box turns black, does this mean that one cannot use
combo-boxes on forms with a bkack background color? Thanks,

Most likely, what you're seeing is that ACCESS selects the entire text in
the "textbox" portion of the combo box after you make a selection from the
dropdown list. That selection color is black. So it "blends" in with your
background color.

To see this, after you make the selection in the combo box, click in any
other control on your form. The black color in the combo box should
disappear.

Ken,

I added a tabular control onto the form and by doing that, the background
color
of the combo-box control stays white when it loses focus.

Thanks anyway!

Eric
