Here's a little puzzle for anyone interested.
It is based on a similar item posted at the DBGuy's website 3 years ago which he was unable to explain at the time. As I like riddles, I worked out how it was done and am posting a modified version here with his permission.
The attached database contains just 2 objects
a) A table with one record
b) A form with a combo box whose row source is an empty value list
However the combo shows 4 items and a default value
Its not too difficult to recover the row source info
BUT can you work out where the combo list info is stored?
Better still can you re-create this scenario in another database?
NOTE:
There are no hidden objects or hidden code in this example.
It is NOT another security challenge
If you succeed, please email me your solution
