Strange problem, upgraded an Access database from '97 to 2003 and in one of
the forms it has a combo box. On clicking the drop down list in shows no
source data, however, it is there as can select one and it will then open a
report based on the selection (as it should do).

On investigation found that the fields in the source table have the
following, Format >@, which basically means force uppercase and force enter a
character. If I remove >@ are able to see the source data in the combo drop
down.

Is there a work-around, other than the obvious of removing the formatting?
