I have a combo box based on a simple list of names. When I open the form I can view the names in the drop down but it will not allow me to choose any of them. After I go into design view and then back to form view I can choose from the drop down list. I only have a couple of forms out of about 20 that are doing this any ideas? Thanks!!!
 
Check to make sure the controls are not locked, and that they are enabled. I have run into this before and found that the properties had changed. (Never new how, but it did.) Also, make sure your form allows edits.

Got it the Switchboard command to open that form was set to read only, now on edit it works perfectly! Thank You!!!
