Combo Boxes with blank lists

I have a form with three combo boxes. Two list Customer Name and Cost
Center. The row source for both are the tables. The third is a search by
Customer Name. Both the Customer and Cost Center tables are linked tables.

These work for 12 out of 13 people. One person has blank combo boxes when
they click the drop down. This person also has Access 2003 and all others
have 2002. Because of the different applications I had this person log on to
a PC that uses 2002 and one of the lists , Customer Name, was populated. The
other two, Customer Name Search and Cost Center were still empty. It does
seem like it has something to do with 2003 since prior to her upgrade she
didn't have this problem but why when she logged on using 2002 didn't they
all reappear? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Answered elsewhere.
Please do not multi-post. If you feel you must post the same question
to more than one newsgroup (and it's seldom necessary), crosspost by
adding each additional newsgroup in the To Newsgroups: box, separated
by a comma.
This way an answer in one newsgroup will be seen in each of the
others. More readers will see the response and learn, and less time
will be spent on duplicate answers.

See Netiquette at http://www.mvps.org/access

It's a great site to visit anyway.
 
Would you be so kind as to tell me where it's been answered since I only
posted it here and have not received an email stating it was answered.

This isn't the first time I've found my posts in multiple places. Just this
morning I found a different post at websites I never been to. They have been
copied the post verbatim along with my name.
 
Be aware that while it may look like you're posting at the Microsoft
website, you're actually posting to an NNTP newsgroup (using a web
interface). Other sites also provide web interfaces to these NNTP
newsgroups, which could explain why you're seeing your post at other sites:
it really IS your post!

This question gets asked frequently since the release of Office 2003 SP3.
Fred may have thought it was you posting in another newsgroup. In any case,
see whether applying the hotfix from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674
solves the problem.
 
Thank you for the information, it's greatly appreciated. I am going to give
this a try and see what happens.

So, even though I am in the "Access Database Forms Coding" on the Microsoft
website and I click New, Question it doesn't just stay here? I've been using
this site and Google for years to find fixes and this is the first time I
ever saw my posts anywhere else. The sites were PC Review and Tech-Archive.

I figured Fred may have made that mistake by accusing me but not giving me
the link to the post he was keeping me from getting an answer all together.
 
I know Access Monster links to these newsgroups, but I'm unaware of specific
others.

I make literally hundreds of posts a month, and I find them everywhere on
the web!

Here is a full copy of the message, and my response, that I was
referring to. It was on the Microsoft.Public.Access.Forms newsgroup.
There was an additional response by Karl Dewey.

It seems you have already answered your own question.
Could be the Service Pack 3 bug.
See this link for details on the hotfix.
