My list box disaster just don't quit.
To this point, I've learned that the only quick, simple way to get a
list box onto a form is to use the list box wizard. Last night it
worked. Tonight it worked. Then, it stopped.
I now have a form with 5 list boxes. Three have spontaneously, quite
without reason, disabled themselves. They passively display the value in
their source table pointed to by the key value in the linked main table
fie.d. BUT, the display is now a ghostly gray. I have had to change the
background color just to see it at all. They also no longer are a part
of the tab order and you cannot click into them at all. Also, the drop
down no longer works at all. It is now just a data display field, not a
list box. Worthless. I have poured over their properties for over an
hour, trying to find the problem. No luck.
Another formerly working list box appears still to work, but will not
update the main record field to which it is linked (this is the problem
I was having last night, before I started using only the wizard to make
list boxes).
Finally, I find that I can no longer CREATE functioning list boxes,
using the wizard, which puts me out of the list box business altogether.
I just rebooted, hoping it might help, but it didn't (small chance!).
You can download this troubled database for examination HERE
<http://www.tomcloyd.com/misc/storage_containers.zip>. Look at the
"storage containers > items" form.
You'll see that my subform is working fine, The three brown-background
list boxes are now duds. The "quadrant" list box appears to work but
actually does nothing to the main table. The "macro-container" list box
is recently created, and does exactly what the brown boxes do: nothing.
Any ideas, anyone?
