[AccessD] Combo Box not Autocompleting

Thank for the reply Rocky,

The database wasn't recreated in 2003.  I just copied the XP file 
onto the client's computer.

The only thing that needed adjusting was a reference to Microsoft 
Offic XP Web Components (Not sure what that was there for).  I 
removed the reference in both versions of the database - the XP 
version still works fine, the 2003 still doesn't.

I also tried recreating the combo box direct in the 2003 copy but it 
behaved the same way (IE no auto complete).
