First, I can't tell whether these are Property Sheet settings or code you're running.

Second, you almost never need to set FirstElement or NumberOfElements for a combo. They're only meaningful when RowSourceType is 5-Array. Any time you think you need to set those properties, what you probably need is to call the Combo's Requery method.
