Access 2007. I am creating a new database, lots of trial and error in code,
etc. Noticed that a combo wasn't working on one form, then realized none of
my combos are working in the entire database, every form. I click them and
nothing happens. All other functions, button, etc work.
What did I do?
 
Did you set the Locked property of a combo box to Yes, and then save that
combo box as the default configuration for new combo boxes that you add to
your form?
 
The combos not working means that I click them expecting a dropdown but
nothing happens. It happened on all forms simultaneously, including ones I
hadn't touched recently. I then used the combo wizard to add a new combo to
see if it effected that one too, and when the wizard got to the step where
you use a combo to select which field to sort in ascending/descending order,
this combo didn't work either. I clicked and nothing happened. So I set
the machine to run a chkdsk on next boot, rebooted and waited an hour while
it ran chkdsk and now all is well. I guess it was a system issue, not my
database, or Access itself.
Thanks for looking into it,
Mich
