hello
VERY WEIRD ERROR THIS ONE!
have a vb5 project connecting to access97 db - data control not used at all.
form contains tab strip with combo box (not DBCombo box) showing fields from single table in db.
When project runs - combo box is blank, but not blank as in no values, but blank as in no border and no arrow!. It's almost as though it's transparent and in it's place is coloured rectangle the same colour as the form. If I set the back colour of the form to the same as the tab strip then the combo box is just invisible.
If I click where I know the combo box is then list drops down and the values from the db are there! From that point on the combo box behaves perfectly!
Any ideas?
I've tried the following:
refreshing
Calling Click event
Setting listindex property
Tab index
changing color of form/tab strip
setting focus
Nothing works!
Any help much appreciated!
Kate
