MS Access Forum / General 2 / November 2008Problems with drop down boxes.
Drop down boxes populated by an underlying query work for all users on many differnt pc's with the exception on one specific pc. Set up and workgroups appear to be identical, but the drop down boxes are empty when using a specific machine. This problem does come up sometimes when using internet software such as Citrix to access a database on a remote server. Any ideas to correct this problem? >Drop down boxes populated by an underlying query work for all users on many >differnt pc's with the exception on one specific pc.

Thanks to Tony Toews, who alerted us to this Microsoft bug (and patch): "Combo box controls and list box controls display no value or incorrect values in Access 2003 after you install Office 2003 Service Pack 3." And a few more problems SP3 introduced. Description of the Access 2003 post-Service Pack 3 hotfix package: December 18, 2007 - 945674 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674 John W.

I'm not certain that the hotfix cures *all* problems with SP3 but with a distributed application, and the aggressiveness of Windows Update, and the irreversability of SP3... I'd probably roll with it. Install SP3 and the hotfix and hope for the best. John W. Vinson [MVP] Thanks for the quick response. Looks very helpful as the machine in question and the host server (answers the Citrix problem) have Office 2003 SP3. Will install the hotfix later today. > >Drop down boxes populated by an underlying query work for all users on many > >differnt pc's with the exception on one specific pc.

I have heard that others are experiencing that this "fix" is kind of hit-and-miss. Is there a fix for this fix yet? > >Drop down boxes populated by an underlying query work for all users on many > >differnt pc's with the exception on one specific pc.
