>>Maybe I'm just over-sensitive about slow combo boxes. I have one user, and on their system, one combobox is incredibly slow. Haven't been able to figure out why. So I try and make things speedy. :)

>Does this slow combo have over 1,000 items in it? If it does then a combo may not be the best interface to use for that purpose. The largest combos or lists that I will use are maxed out at around 500 items, beyond that I find that the list or combo control is not helpful to the user in locating their desired values.

I doubt it has more than 500. It depends how many clients the user has, and I don't think they have that many. The wierd thing is that the combo works fine for everyone else. But there's a bunch of things that don't work right on their system. I still think it has something to do with their Novell network.

Even so, I try to make things as fast as possible. I know I hate waiting for the computer, and I don't want my users to have to wait.
