[AccessD] combo box 101

Sounds obvious, but check the column count ... Even if you have the widths
set for multiple columns (0",0",2") and the bound column set (0), if your
column count is set to 1 then that's all you get!

That would be my suggestion too, since the text part of a combo box always
displays the first non-zero width column.
