sharing databases

I am sharing a database over a workgroup - local machines have a copy of the
database with tables linked to replicated database residing on a common
shared machine.

I have mapped appropriate network drives on local machines. Everything was
working fine but now all of a sudden, unbound combo box with a linked table
as the data source, will not dislay contents. the data is evidently there as
i can scroll up and down the combo box options, but cannot see what is
currently selected.

Some local machines work fine, others not. All machines use XP proffessional.

Any ideas?

up to date with no updates available.
