Black Boxes around combo box fields

[Gigi0614]

Hi!
I'm trying to do a report, and I added a combo box to pull in data from another table. Then when I ran the report and printed it, these combobox fields where in black boxes!! What's up with that?? Am I doing this right?

What properties of the combo box did you attempt to change to fix the problem?

when you say black boxes...

do you mean the inside of the boxes were black with white text?
if so, then that's just because you've selected 1 record and access is highlighting the record that you've selected... To get rid of it, just click inside the combo box...

Crowley16,
Since this is a Report forum, the combobox has no ability to be clicked in preview mode.

Gigi0614,
Are you sure this is a combo box and not a list box?
