To populate a combobox or listbox with an array, try the following:

for x = 0 to ArrayLen(Array())-1
Combobox.Add(Array(x))
Next

I recommend you to use an ArrayList instead of a ComboBox.
ArrayLists support the IndexOf method which will allow you to easily find the requested item.

Hi Erel,
I think I am in way too deep for my programming experiance
I am no even more confused, the arraylist does not display and even if it did there is no way of picking form it (does not allow events, in the form designer). i have tried to use "EXCEL" because this was visable in my combobox version.
please help
thanks Friedrich

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't notice that you want to show a list to the user.
