How do I automatically show the content of a combobox? Is that called the rowlist? When the form opens I don't want the combobax to look empty.
Thank You,

what do you mean by automatically show the content of a combobox

What is the source of data for the combo box ?

I would like the drop-down list from the combobox to be there when I open the form.
The source are only a few headlines (less than 10)

Try:

Private Sub Form_Load()

Me.comboBox.SetFocus
Me.comboBox.Dropdown

End Sub

I think after adding items to combobox you need to use code like :

Combo1.ListIndex = 0

in the Form_Load event so that when form is loaded, item at position 1 in the combobox is automatically selected & displayed.

In this case (refer above post by me) only one item at a time will be displayed in the combobox unless dropdown button (Downward arrow button) is not pressed to display a list of items. If you want to display items in list form while form is loaded, you may use ListBox in place of ComboBox.

You probably need "Form_Load, I believe vb has a way to have us select "FORM" from the dropdown in vb design mode and form_load code would be written...

Please search the forum, there may be something already added on this if more help needed:-)
