I have a bound form with an unbound combo box. The query behind the
combo returns 6 fields and when I "hide" the first column which is the
bound column, access just crashes and goes away. I have narrowed it
down to if I set the width of the first column to anything other than
zero, it works fine. However, if I set it to zero, then access crashes
when after I select a record from the combo.

I have used this technique before to do things like select a customer
or user. The customer id is bound but is hidden and instead the
customer name is shown in the combo. I am a little confused and think
that this may be related to the query because I have a combo that is
almost identical except it only has 5 fields. Has anybody had anything
like this before? Please help if you have any ideas.
