Fabio,

It's a misuse of the cbo to have that many selectable items in it. And you should expect that loading that many pictures into it will take a fair amount of time and system resources.

Perhaps you'd be better off using the Listview ActiveX instead.

Since it's Sunday perhaps you can find some useful hints about UI design from this article: http://builder.com.com/5100-6371-1044594.html
