Could someone help me with this newbie question? I've got a combo box on a form and the combobox is full of the right data in its drop down list. But, #Name? is visible prior to clicking on the drop down list and I'm not sure why. Also, I can't select any of the values that I can see in the drop down list, all it does is beep when I click on one of the values.

ahhh, figured it out!!! In case this helps anyone. I've got a access db with linked tables to an oracle db. Because of this some fieldnames had to be changed because they were oracle reserved words. What I needed to do to fix the problem was go to the properties of the problem combo boxes and under control source choose the appropriate fieldname ..... like MS_Name not Name and MS_Role instead of Role. The Name and Role were the previous names of the fields prior to the changeover to oracle.
