Items aren't visible in drop down box.

Asked by phmurphy in Access Forms

Greetings,
I have a client who is using a form I created that can't see the items in a drop down box.  Normally when you select the item in the drop down box and event is triggered that fills in other boxes.  The client says that if they randomly pick in the empty area the other boxes do get filled in, so there is somthing "there" but not visible.
I have tried to have the text in the drop down box left justified so it wouldn't accidently be off on the right and invisible, and I have tried to change the font color to a real color rather than just a system color.  I thought that I might have white text on a white background and that would cause a problem.

Any ideas where the invisible ink is coming from?

Thanks,
