source of a combo box

266 256MB
i was wondering if it is possible to make the source of a combo box a table from another database. Im building a form using vba in bentley microstation and would like the source of a combo box on that form to be filled from a table on another database. thanks.

You can expand the select query to get the information from another database, but it's easier to link the table first.
Just create a new table and indicate it's linked.
