Hi Jill.
You can populate the combobox in the Init event of the combobox.
You can use the following:

This.AddItem("Full Duty, Full Pay")
This.AddItem("Reduced Pay")

>The data I want to put in the combobox in a drop-down list contains a comma. Everytime I put in the data, it puts anything after the comma on the next line. I've tried single and double quotes around the data but it still separates at the comma. What special character(s) must I use so that I can have a comma in the data?
