   Try this:

   ComboBox1.Items.Add("Text")

   It's pretty flexible, you can put just about anything in there:

   ComboBox1.Items.Add("Text" & RichTextBox1.Text & someVariable & etc.)

   The .AddItem is to add items to the Combo Box at run time. This is normally the preferred way of doing this instead of doing it through the properties of the Combo Box.
   

   
   Usage:
   Combo1.AddItem "String"

   Yeah, I was getting an error like "Invalid procedure call or argument" (Runtime error 5). It seems to work if I remove the index # (rather than Combo1.Additem "Blah" 2, just Combo1.Additem "Blah").

   Combo1.AddItem tells me that it's a wrong code.
