    Question Mouse Click can't work on OK button for Combo-Box selection

    Hi experts,

    I get a bizarre situation while I am using MS Access 2010 to select values with Combo Boxes on a form, i.e.:
    * After I select one or more values from the drop-down list of a Combo Box, there is no response when clicking OK button using the mouse. It is stalled. I need to do the process again and then the mouse-click on OK button could work: click anywhere outside of the combo box, re-select the values, click OK Button, and done.

    * However, I can always use Enter key (on the keyboard) upon OK button to complete the selection.

    * The values in the drop-down list of the Combo Box were entered manually.




    What is wrong with the Combo Boxes on the form? Why do I need to do twice to complete the selection using mouse-click? Why the keyboard-click ('Enter') can be always OK but not for the mouse-click?

    Thank you in advance.

    Is this combobox bound to a multi-value field? I NEVER use multi-value field.

    The problem was cause by using "Format Painter" to copy an existing combo-box (that has a conditional formatting) to this new one...
