Hi Tamar,

Thanks for jumping in. Every time I read your name I remember your wonderful technical prose I read so many years ago. Great times of technical reading on par with the early O'Reilly books. I hope you take for what it is intended to be. A compliment:)

>I have a vague memory of this capability falling apart with large lists, but I don't know that there's any set limit. FWIW, combos really don't make >sense for users beyond a hundred or so items.

Sorry to hear this. But sure that's not essential stuff. I wanted to clarify whether the issue - since there is one - was a WIN32 widget-level issue that could encountered in VB6 as well or whether this was VFP-related.

When it comes to drop-down lists - not plain combos - I respectfully beg to differ. There are a few cases where they may do IMVHO:) But I welcome the opinion!

Cheers - Daniel
