>The practical limit is a lot shorter than the physical limit: once you get a certain (machine-dependent) number of items, it will be close to unusuable. If you have to ask this question, consider using a grid and textbox in a container control instead.

I have to ask this question because I recall reading of a specific number of items that a combobox control is limited to and I would just like to know this number because one of our clients is experiencing a problem due to the number of records that the combo box is pulling in.

You're telling me that the limit is not specifically stated anywhere and that it could be different from machine to machine?

Laterness,
