Default Referencing columns from a combo box adds extra brackets

Hi,
I've been used to using the .column property on a combo box to refer to the
other columns in the underlying data source; since using 2007 this doesn't
seem to work for me.

I put in the normal syntax and then Access goes and does this:
=[Activity Name].[Column](2)

additionally, the .column property isn't available in the expression builder.

Has this changed for 2007?

TIA

Hey Guys,
It seems to work now - initially I was getting the old #Name, but after
getting a cup of tea, it all seems to work...tea really does fix everything
lol.

Good news, Wendy. Yes, a cup of tea was exactly what I was about to
suggest. g
