Combo Box

[Guest]

This is the wierdest thing I have seen. I am creating a simple combo/drop
down box on a form and using the values from a table to populate the vaues.
Simple, right? Wrong. When I create the combo box on the form using the
wizard it shows me all the values in the table. However, when I am finished
and see the form in form view, I click on the drop down and can't see any
values. I tried just creating a blank/new form and put a combo box on it and
same thing, if I click on the drop down arrow nothing shows up. I have
checked the control source property, checked to make sure it isn't white
lettering on a white background, etc. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
as I am out of ideas and have done this 100 times. Thanks.
