Empty ComboBox

My app works fine on my PC but when run on another PC the problem
happens.
There is no data displayed in the combobox when it drops down on this
other PC.
The MDB is self-contained using no external data, DLL's, OCX's, etc.
There is no error messages or obvious flags.
The References look OK.

The combo pulls it's list from an internal Table.

Help!

Are you perhaps running v2003 with the infamous SP3 installed on the troubled
machine? This problem is one of the most commonly reported bugs associated
with this service pack. If this is your situation, here's a page by Allen
Browne with most of the bugs and a link to Micro$oft's site where there's a
hotfix:
