Do other users around you have this problem? Do you have the latest
video drivers installed?

Using Access 2007, I've found that combo box back colors change to
transparent from normal inconsistently for no reason I can discern.
Never had that problem in previous versions of Access. I do have the
back style properties set to Normal and back colors set to white, but
sometimes when I tab out of a particular combo box the back color
changes to match the back color of the detail section.
Has anybody else had this experience? Is there a way to correct it?- Hide quoted text -

Maybe I'm mistaken but I don't think that this is a video driver
problem. I'm seeing this on some combo boxes, on some forms in some
databases designed in A2003 and then run in A2007. The reason that I
don't think that it's a driver problem is that I'm seeing it on
several machines including several desktops and a laptop and only when
running an A2003 database in A2007. There seems to be no consistency,
with the problem only manifesting on some combo boxes on some forms.
I tried opening one of the offending databases in A2007, creating a
new form and then copying and pasting all the objects from the problem
form to the new form and the problem still persisted. On one
particular form, I fixed the problem by individually selecting the
problem combo boxes and using the "bring to front" menu command. I
couldn't see any reason that this should make a difference, but it
did. It has the distinct smell of a bug that seems to affect A2003
databases running in A2007.
I know that the above probably hasn't been a great deal of help, but
at least now I know that someone else is seeing the problem. I posted
about this problem a few weeks ago and didn't get any response, so I
figured it must be some obscure problem that only I was seeing.
