Access crashes when using a combobox. Any advice?

I have created a form in MS Access 2003 that is causing me no end of
trouble. There is a combobox that is set to limit choices from a list
and the choices are retrieved from another table. I have no custom
coding around this box (this was all set up through access and the
combobox properties).

Several users have experienced a crash when they try to enter data into
the combobox. I have not had this problem, and neither have some of
the users out there. I have checked OS versions, Access versions, and
Jet versions and they are all the same. I cannot find a difference
between machines that would cause this.

I have recreated the control and recreated the database, but the
problem still persists. Searching on this topic is almost impossible,
as there is really no good way to uniquely describe the problem.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
dont know exactly what is causing it, but what you can try is
1. make a new table from which to get the combobox info from
2. make another combo box - maybe without using the wizard and just
point it to the table
3. if problems persist you may want to reinstall (as a last resort
only)
