Try setting the RowSource and RowSourceType as follows:

*-- Set rowsource to nothing.
This.RowSource = ""
*-- Set rowsourcetype to 0(none)
This.RowSourceType = 0
*-- Drop-down list
This.Style = 2
*-- Add your items.
This.AddItem("Full Duty, Full Pay")
This.AddItem("Half Pay")
*-- Makes combo display first option.
This.ListIndex = 1

Make sure that the field length of the ControlSource is long enough for your longest item in the combobox.

>I tried you suggestion but it only took the data in the first AddItem. It gave to options to pick from but the second one was blank. Have I done something wrong or is there one more thing I need to do for it to work?
