List in form not displaying fields

M

I am new to access and still overcoming the learning curve. I have had this
problem with several list combo boxes I have put in my forms. When working
in the program, all of a sudden the fields in a drop-down list box go blank.
I can scroll up and down the blank list and select text, but of course it is
displayed blank. Sometimes, if I go to the corresponding tables, there will
be data stored and displayed in the corresponding cells, so I know my
relationships are still there. But other times it will not even display
anything in the table either.

Without more information we can't help - you can see your computer, we cannot!

Does a combo box just suddenly stop working, without any changes to the
database?

Once it stops working will it ever come back?

Are you doing anything to change the content of the table?

What's the RowSource of the affected combo?

Ok so I tried running the program on another computer and it appears to be
working. It must be something with running the database on my laptop. If
you have any thoughts about this, please let me know. Otherwise I can deal
with it if I know it works on other computers.

I tried running the database on another computer and it worked fine. It just
must be a problem with the Access on my laptop. Maybe you have some thoughts
about that? Otherwise, I am fine with it as long as I know it works on other
computers.
