I actually did try, in my first draft, to use a cursor instead of array but ran into a couple of problems. So I decided to switch to an array, which works, so far well.

Thank you for your suggestion. If I have time, I may try your approach. However, since this morning (when I work on this combobox), I have learned to live with a bit wider combo box than I would like.
