[RESOLVED] Access and combos

Hiya,

Had a chunk of code for years now which is not doing what it used to do with combo lists.

It is meant to fill a combo box from an array and deal with the column widths. It had been until today when I am doing stuff with it and the widths aren't changing. In combos. In listboxes the code works the way it should.

I have attached a pic - minus data.
The dividor line should be way more to the right.
I changed the drop list to be bigger than the combo and that has a gap instead of filling it.

Yet the same code works fine in a list box.

Has MS fixed 'something' recently..?

Coding is convaluted and a mash of older code plus stuff found online from MS site. I've put it all in a class which i then call.

If you have come across this and know of a fix - I would be grateful.
If your fix is to stop coding in Access, although I will acknowledge you are right, I wont be as gratef ul :D

You can change the column widths as you want.

Nope. Tried that. I remembered that before I could use that to force it to what I wanted. But it looks like the code some how overrides it but still doesn't get it right.

Anything else to try?

After erasing and recreating the combo. Playing with settings. Examining the code again, and trying an experiment - it works again (phew).

Thanks for the pointers
