If you're going to use the array as the rowsource for the combo box, it should be ok. Create the array as a property of the form at design-time. Set the rowsource of the combo box to thisform.myarray at design-time or run-time. If you set the rowsource in the init of the combo box, be sure to put quotes around thisform.myarray. (ex: this.rowsource="thisform.myarray"). Then in the init of the form, re-dimension and populate the array and refresh the combox box. I have no idea how to make an array a property of a combox box.

Hope this helps,
Mark
