Microsoft Access 2003: Why do drop downs not show all of the information selections that should be available to select from?
A few of the dropdowns in Access database do not show all of the information they need to pick from in the first example. At the top it says "Type" and has a reference of 174 that nobody knows where that comes from. It should have "DLR, OEM, HYD" to choose from. The second one says "Terms" with C.O.D. and the drop down has no more to choose from such as Cash in Advance, Credit Card, Net 30 days, etc. Please refer to the image in the attachment:

Rehash? I guess you could call additional details a rehash. Then award your own answer all the points if you think I didn't make a contribution ( i did offer specific suggestions for each combo but that's just details). I couldn't figure out how to specify point splits thanks to the new close interface. I didn't think John added anything additional.
<<Rehash? I guess you could call additional details a rehash. >>
That's what I'd call it. You suggested nothing new over the first two comments that I can see, just added more detail. I covered all the properties except for the Rowsource, which John caught and mentioned.
<<Then award your own answer all the points if you think I didn't make a contribution>>
Additional details may have been helpful to the asker if it made things clearer to them, but without input from them we don't know that. But at the very least, it should have been an even split.
Even so, we really don't know if any of us answered the question. We think we did (and most likely did as this is a simpler question than most), but we really don't know.
But this is the very reason Expert's should not be closing their own questions.
From my viewpoint, lacking input from the asker, the question should simply be deleted.
<< I couldn't figure out how to specify point splits thanks to the new close interface. >>
You could have asked. If the process is un-clear to you as an Expert, or simply not working, then someone needs to know that.
Note that I will be deleting the question.

Please do not award me any participation points. You and John divvy them up. If you are going to take the position that all contributions are equal, then why do manual closes at all? Just do an automatic close and award participation points to every one and stop bugging me to look at abandoned questions to try to clean them up. I have enough work to do.
I've looked at my last abandoned question. If the owner can't be bothered, nether can I. I'll still get my "participation points" because that's "fair". Have at it.
PS - if EE hadn't changed the close interface, I would have awarded you the bulk of the points but that no longer seems possible. You should be annoyed with them, not with me.

Jim let it go..just split the points with Pat and lets move ahead...np by me
You skipped John, and your comment is nothing more than a re-hash of what John and I said anyway.
