Hi Steve,

The form's Init method, where your array is created, is fired too late. The combobox has already been instanciated and looks for the arFillCombo array before the form's Init. If you want to check for yourself, just put a MessageBox() right before you create your array in the form's init and you'll receive your error message before the message box.

Like Fred and Doug, I recommend using a form's property, but if you insist on using a public variable, create and fill it in the load method of the form.

Hope this helps!
