Combo Boxes and Wizards

Lately, whenever I try to create a combo box on a form using the wizard,
about half way through the process I get the following message:

Data cannot be retrieved from the source you have selected. You must
select
a different table or query to continue in the wizard.

I close the message and cancel the wizard process and build the combo box
manually. I'd like to
use the wizard again in the future.

My database is split between a frontend (forms) and backend (tables).

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to start a wizard, such as the Combo Box Wizard or the
Lookup Wizard, the wizard may not start successfully. You may receive the
following error message:

Data cannot be retrieved from the source you have selected. You must
select a different table or query to continue in the wizard.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, you must install the latest version of the
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).
For additional information about how to download and to install the
latest version of
MDAC, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Web

I hope this is of some help.
