Drop-down boxes when using dual monitors

Several of our clients work on dual monitors. The
problem comes when they bring up any Access database on
the 1st monitor that has drop-down boxes (Combo boxes),
and then drag the database to the 2nd monitor. When they
click the down arrow for the drop-down box on the 2nd
monitor, the list of values displays on the 1st monitor
(while the rest of the Form is still displayed on the 2nd
monitor). They can click on a value in the 1st monitor,
and it will be applied to the database/Form displayed in
the 2nd monitor. Some of these Combo boxes are Bound to
a control, and some are Unbound. They perform the same.
Anyone else experiencing this? Solutions?

Access 97 I assume. Unfortunately Access 97 doesn't support dual monitors very well.
I don't see this behavior in the newer versions.
