listbox/combo box crashes access 2007

My application has a master form as Student, and several child subforms (projects, courses, attendances) attached to a certain student. The master and child are connected by "StudentID".

Taking Courses subform as an example, the form has a listbox field as CourseID, which displays detailed information of a course. The administrator could register a student for a course by selecting a course from the dropdown list.

This application worked fine in 2003. without a problem. But if opened in 2007, while trying to add a new record in the subform, the click of the drop down crashes the application. However, typing in without clicking is OK.

After a whole day search online, I still have no clue at all of how to fix it. Anybody had this problem before? please shed some light.

Hi

Using 2003 and 2007 can cause strange 'unexpected errors'. (at least my experience)

I would create a copy of the db and try to re-construct the subform drop down box using Access 2007 and see if it resolves the issue.


Regards
Emil
