Forms behave Different In Windows XP View

Guest

I have a database that works correctly when Windows appearance is set to
Windows Classic using Windows XP Home Edition. The database is Access 2003,
using the Access 2000-2002 format. But when switching Windows appearance to
the Windows XP style, some of the forms won't display all the bound controls.
Example, one form will display the CustomerName control, but not the Address
control. The area where the control would normally be is blank or missing.
Switching back to Classic view and it works just fine. The forms use the
standard form format that access defaults with, so no conditional formatting
was applied to the forms or the controls. Any ideas?

Other than setting the Windows XP theme to "Windows Classic", you could try
unchecking the box under:
Tools | Options | Forms/Reports | Use Windows Themed Controls
