Hi John

Sounds like you need to delete and rebuild the offending combo.

My laptop is running Windows 7 (latest updates) and Office 2003 SP3.  I have a form which contains 
controls which I want to cut and paste to another form.  Just works right?

No, it doesn't.  I was able to cut and paste one specific combo box, two text boxes and 2 command 
boxes copied just fine.  A second combo refuses to copy.  It alternates between page faulting 
(Access has quite working) and appearing that it copies (spinning wheel for a while then returning 
but not actually copying the combo).  In no event does it actually copy that specific combo.

I made an empty access container, copied the source and destination forms into that, and tried the 
copy of these controls in that new container.  Same thing.  Everything copies except that one combo.

If I try to copy any other control right into the same form it works, that control even into the 
same form, does not copy.

I so love Access.
