We have an Access 2000 app running over a network with a Windows 2000 server. On two workstations, a combo box that is looking up a specific field in a specific table does not work when you type the data and press ENTER. It shows the data if you pull down the list and you can point at the data you want and click on it and it finds the record correctly. When you type in the data (which IS in the table) the program will tell you it is not an item in the list. This same combo box works correctly in all respects on all the other workstations. I have tried updating the workstations with a new copy of the mde file. I have uninstalled the Access runtime and reinstalled it. Has anyone run into this problem?

It sounds like the app is not finding the item in the text input line of the combo with the combo list. Do all your PC have the same OS and version of Office? It may be that the .dll that is used to create the combo is different on the two PCs that don't run the app as planned.
I had a similar problem, and in the end, changed the version of Office. Seemed to cure the glitch.
Hope this helps.
