Default no data in column in combo box

Access03: am baffled in having a combobox based on a table, that for one
column (gender) the data is blank.

as a sanity check I made a form off this same table - and the gender data
shows...

another sanity check I deleted the old combo box and created a new...same
result..

3rd sanity check I built a query, it shows the data - and sourced the
combobox on the query - same result...

the column is plenty wide (since it is only 1 letter F or M) and is in the
middle of several columns (i.e. Last Name, First Name, Gender, DOB)

anybody have a suggestion??

What version of Access and what service pack level? As I recall there was a
bug in the first releases of A2003 that caused combo boxes to blank out; I
don't recall the exact circumstances, maybe someone with a better memory will.

Close, John! It was the SP3 service pack for Acc2003 that really was buggy,
including the 'disappearing data' in comboboxes. Here's a link to the hotfix
that resolves the issue:
