Combo_Box/List_Box Populating

[Rob Rusnak]

I have created a form which uses Drop-Down lists (Combo or list box) and am trying to find a way to populate the list with selections for the user. I know in VB you can uses Additem but the word document control does not seem to have the same functionality. Any help that can be provided would be greeatly appreciated.

Rob,

There is a difference in forms in documents vs. forms in VBA. From a MS
User Form 2.0 (uh... VBA Dialog) you can add items to a list box with the
AddItem method like this:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
With cboList '//the list box object
.AddItem ("Item 1")
.AddItem ("Item 2")
.AddItem ("Item 3")
.AddItem ("Item 4")
End With
End Sub


BUT if you are adding controls on the Word document itself, it is (of course
:s) different; where you use the Add method using its Name parameter


Sub FormFieldAdd()
With ActiveDocument.Range.FormFields(1).DropDown.ListEntries
.Add Name:="Item 1"
.Add Name:="Item 2"
.Add Name:="Item 3"
.Add Name:="Item 4"
End With
End Sub

Bizarre but true....

Tried to run the program but keep getting "The requested member of the collection does not exist" error. I wrote the code as per controls in a word document below. Not sure how the code relates to the combo_box (in my program is cboTest)
