ActiveX combo box?

[CodeCurious]

I am making a form in Word and want end-users to choose from a dropdown list.
I need to use an ActiveX combo box for this purpose. I’ve been working with
the information from this link

Using the code provided, I still can not get the results I am looking for.
Is there something that needs to be done in the properties section? Is there
something to the ordering of the code? The concept seems simple enough, and
the code doesn't seem that complex (except for the whole adding-an-array
data-base-string thing, lol).

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe a working example will help. You can download the template

what makes it work.
