It does not look as reliable way. If you want to base your combo on array then it should be either public array or form property-array. Also, in what DE event you run this SELECT? It seems that tables are not opened yet if you do it e.g. from DE.BeforeOpenTables. Ultimately, array is not the best combo.rowsource, cursor or values might be better.

But when I run the form, an error comes out that the data type is mismatched in the combo box. But, although I have an error, the form and combo box still can work.
