That's what I need! How do I get a checkbox to display in the
dropdown of a
combobox, instead of the Yes/No appearing ???

A CheckBox is a control. A ComboBox is a different control. You can't display
one inside the other.

You could set the ComboBox to use the WingDing font and display the characters
that look like an checked and unchecked Checkbox.

Wouldn't it be easier to have a check box, why does it need to be a combo
box?
