Removing items
To add remove an item from a combo box during runtime, you can use the following syntax:
Combo1.RemoveItem Index
where Index is a integer representing the list index of
the item to be removed. So if you use the previous example, David would
have a list index of 0 (first item) , Paul's would be 1, and Sarah's
2. Note that if the combo is sorted, the list index will change as items
are added. The following code removes the selected item, and the first
item on the list.
' Remove the first item
Combo1.RemoveItem 0
' Remove the selected item
Combo1.RemoveItem Combo1.listindex
The listindex property returns the listindex of the currently
selected item.
To remove all the items from a combo box simply use the following statement:
Combo1.Clear

Try this:
ComboBox1.Items.Add("Text")
It's pretty flexible, you can put just about anything in there:

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.
