Does anyone have an actual tested Add (All) to combo function or whatever

I am trying to follow the example at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/bb457185.aspx

The instructions for making use of the function are to set the RowSourceType
property to the function name (AddAllToList). The drop down choices for
RowSourceType do not include a function name.

I am a 66 year old 40 year computer veteran and I do not understand how an
example like this can get on a microsoft site.

Can someone please point me to a correct resource?

BTW, the Watch the video link also does not work on that page.

Thanks

Thanks for the response Chris.

I did try HELP and just tried it again but I get 100 replies and I can't see
anything useful.

If I do as you say and put in the function name I get an error that says it
might be invalid and press help fo Row Source Type help but I only get the
help Browse section.

Looking at the code more closely reveals that the 2nd parameter is only
referenced in a comment. This is suspicious. I can guess that the 1st parm
is the name of the control but this seems strange since the code is executed
as part of the control. The code to do with lngRow, lngCol and intCode
looks weird to me in that they appear to need different values over time to
work. Since the instructions do not even mention providing args to the
function I am completely confused.

Since this is an article from the msdn site I would expect something better
than this seemingly very incomplete example.

I know you guys get a lot of questions etc from folks that don't use the
help and other resources but I have checked and the example is flawed.

Can you point me to a proper example or to someone/somewhere that can help
me?

Thanks again,
Ron
