Combo List Empty - Access 2002 / 2003

Hello,

Since the last Windows XP update on the secretary PC, all combo lists are now empty even if the related tables are not at all.

Here is her configuration:
Windows XP SP 2
Access 2003 SP 3

Here is the description:

1) I've got a combo list based on the table Towns with zip-code, name, country.

2) In the form, in addition the combolist is sorted on the name, just to easily pick up the right Town

3) Since the Windows update, the combo list displays only the zip-code, the other fields are empty even if the table content is not empty at all; I mean I checked in the table content itself.

4) I created a query based on the same arguments of the combo list and the query is working well alone; if I try to create a new combo list linked to the query, then I get the same weird result

5) I've tried to create a new field with the combo list assistant; when I select the table Towns, it shows me the full content (so name, zip, country) and when I run the form, the combo list is again almost empty !!

6) What is more weird is that when I put the Access database back on my standalone laptop which is running Access 2002, the combo list is working correctly !! In fact I am currently maintaining the Access database from my Access 2002 since more than one year and I had no issue

7) In fact, I got the same issue with all the combo-list in my Database

8) I tried to compact the DB but with no effect

Somebody has a brillant idea for me ?? otherwise I think I will contact Mister Bill directly :)
