ListBox displays values, identical ComboBox does not

I have an unbound ListBox and an unbound ComboBox on the same form. I
have them both set up to display the values from the same field in the
same table. The ListBox displays the correct values; the ComboBox
displays nothing.

The form is just a test form I'm using to sort this problem out. It has
no other controls on it and no code associated with any portion. The
table is a very simple table, set up just to sort this out.

I have tried various property values with no success. I have tried
using the wizard to create the ComboBox, but the results are the same.

I apologize if this is some newbie problem, but it is driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Right click the listbox and select Change To ... Combo Box
Does it display correctly? If so, then the other combo box
really isn't identical.

If the new combo is correct, then copy and paste a second
one and change one back to a listbox.
