>>>I would appreciate help on the following question.

>>>I have a combo box bound to an array (RowSourcetype = 5 - Array). The RowSource of this combo is set programmatically in the INIT method of the combo. Then, in the INIT method of the FORM, a value is assigned to this combo box. What happens that if the value assigned to the combo box is not in the array, the combo box value is empty. Is it possible to make the value, even if it is not in the array, to be set/stick?

The reason is that the program will "catch" the wrong ("odd") value in the combo box later but if the value is in the array (and drop-down list) use will think that the value is valid. I hope I am clear in my explanation.

Dmitry, thank you very much for the kind words.

About the only thing I can think of that might be of help might not work. IOW, I haven't tested this. Given that play around with the assigning the value to the .DisplayValue property and setting the index to 0. That might get you where you need to go.
