blank combo box

[NAS]

I have a database that I didnt build that has multiple combo boxes in a form.
Some of them are blank and some of them arent. I watched someone with more
access knowledge than me try to make a combo box and it still came up blank.
Why is this happening? Is it a problem with Access or our server, or
something else?

LOL!

What version of Access? 2003 SP2 I believe caused some problems with
combo boxes ...

Here's a note I saved some time back ...

Office / Access 2003 SP3 requires a necessary hotfix:

Combo boxes generally display their value. There are a number of properties
that determine what is displayed when either dropped down or not. I suggest
you just try to learn about the properties and how they work. Check out:

Control Source, Column Widths, Row Source, Bound Column, ...
