    Combo Box and Table Issues


    Hi I have a very basic database in design mode at this stage and I have an issue I have not come across before and I am looking for ideas on how to resolve what is going wrong.

    Basic issue.

    I have a continuation form, All I am entering into the continuation form is a date, and from a combo box an item from the the table linked to that combo box. Simple.

    However every time I select an item from the combo box, one of my items changes to a number. so if I pick say item 15 on the list, item 5 will suddenly not longer say "Monthly meeting" instead it will say 11 or 17.

    I'm not sure what is causing this.

    Other useful information. My combo box has a query behind it, it sorts ascending, and doesn't show the first 4 items in my table.

    What could be causing the issue?

    Certainly something wrong with combobox setup. Without knowing property settings and data structure, hard to advise.

    Suggest you provide db for analysis. Follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Look at the combo's Bound Column property (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/of...ox.boundcolumn) and the associated ColumnCount and ColumnWidth properties:
