I have a number of Access applications with lots of combo boxes. The
TextAlign on every one of them is General and when the form is display the
items show up left justified, as I expect them to. I had to send the apps
over to India for some work. Even though they did nothing to any of the
combo boxes, when the apps came back, the TextAlign for every combo box is
still General, but when the form is displayed, the items in every combo box
show up right justified.

What setting is causing this?

Check the Keyboard language setting. It must have gotten changed. TextAlign
general uses this setting to determine left or right alignment.
This is explained in Access Help if you look.

I checked and the keyboard language setting on my machine is and always has
been English (US). I have never had any need to change this so I am pretty
sure it has always bee English.

Every combo box I have checked has a Keyboard Language setting of System.

And yet, all the combo boxes are right aligned.
