I'm populating a combox with all the available printers on a machine. The printers are sharenames and look like "\\MyServer\MyPrinter".

The comboxbox rowSourceType = 5 - Array, and the rowsource = this.aList.

In the requery of the combo I put:

m.numOfPrinters = Aprinters(printerList)

If m.numOfPrinters  > 0
	Dimension This.alist[Alen(printerlist, 1), 2]
	Local i
	For m.i = 1 To Alen(printerList, 1)
		Local printerName
                ** Double all the backslashes so the items are not disabled.
		m.printerName = Strtran(printerList[m.i, 1], "\", "\\")
		This.alist[m.i, 1] = m.printerName
	Next
endif

The printers with "\\\\" in the beginning of the string are still showing up as disabled.

If I change the combo rowSourceType to 0 and use .addItem(m.printerName) they are NOT disabled.

Anyone know why it works differently depending on the rowSourceType?
