Default Combobox Value Will Not Change - Until I Right Click?

Not certain how to describe this one. A combox is placed on a form.
The form is called from a continuos list via a mouse down event.

If Button = acRightButton Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmTask", acNormal
End If

The form, frmTask, has absolutely no code behind it. It has a combobox
with a row source type of "value list" and a row source of
""Complete";"Complete with a Problem";"Abandoned"".

The form, frmTask, is set to allow edits, allow additions and allow
deletions all = yes.

The value in combobox cannot be changed... until the user right clicks
on the combobox.

!?

What am I missing?

do you have the extra quotes around the RowSource or did you
just put them for this post?

what are the following properties:
ControlSource -- and data type of bound field
ColumnCount
BoundColumn

What is the RecordSource of frmTask? If it is a query, what
is the SQL for the query?

Warm Regards,
