Cannot select combo box item

Okay, I'm stumped... I have a combo box on a form. It
does display the correct values in View mode. When I
click a value in the list, the value's background turns
blue -- indicating the value has been selected. BUT...
the value is NOT placed in the box and the scrollable list
does not collapse. I have compared properties of
a 'working' combo box and this one and cannot see any
differences.

Can anyone help before this causes me to start drinkin'
again???

Tnx

When you try to do this, check the Status Bar at the bottom of the Access
window. Are there any messages there?
 
Is this combo field bound to a query or table field? If
so, check that field to make sure that it can receive data
and that the data is of the right data type. Hope this
helps
 
Geeesh! I learned a lesson today... thanks to all who
replied. Problem was NOT with combo box. The FORM was
set to 'No Edit'. <embarassed smile!> Thanks, all!
