ActiveX Controls on Documents

[vera]

Please help again! How do I populate the list in an
ActiveX combo box? Nothing seems to work for me ... even
code using the combobox1.add method in the document.open
event. Is there some trick to this? Can't the list just be
typed into the properties anywhere? I add a semi-colon
delimited list to the Text (just guessing there, can't
find any documentation) but I just get a list in the
field, no drop down values.

And by the way, is there any way to search this archive?

Also, How do I get the VB Toolbar to stay open in Word? It
seems that I have to add it every time I open the program.

Hi Vera,

The following code in Private Sub Document_Open() will add items Item 1 thru
Item 10 to the ActiveX ComboBox1 in the document when the document is
opened:

Private Sub Document_Open()
Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 10
ComboBox1.AddItem "Item " & i
Next i
End Sub

Re the VBA toolbar, I never use ActiveX controls in documents. A userform
in a template is a much better approach.
