Combobox doing odd things

[Guest]

I have a combo box that has 4 columns, I have 3 of those columns shown in it.
One of those columns last week would have the word Yes or No in it. Today, I
was looking at this combo box and now all I get is -1 or 0 in it instead of
Yes or No. How do I get Yes or No back? The field that links to this combo
box has been defined as a Yes or No field and that is the default display.
And yet I still get -1 or 0. Not sure why it has done this.

Which version of ACCESS? Did you install any updates for this version
lately?

Version 2003 and yes they have deployed office updates to my laptop.

If the field to which the combo box is bound has a Format property setting
for the field in the table, then yes, this is a bug that has been reported
by many ACCESS users during past weeks. It apparently is a bug in Office
2003 SP3, which was released by MS a short time ago. MS is aware of the bug
and is working on how to fix it.

In the meantime, the "complete workaround" is to remove the Format
property's value from the field's properties in the table's design view.

"Combo box controls and list box controls display no value or
incorrect values in Access 2003 after you install Office 2003 Service
Pack 3." And a few more problems SP3 introduced.
