If the list values can change in runtime then you can use any ActiveX combo-box control.If you have Microsoft Office installed then you can use the Forms 2.0 Combobox control. You can then use VBS scripts to populate and manipulate the combobox. Regards, Salma

The one issue I'm facing now is when I re-select the same item in the Combo box again (twice), It does not do the action which works perfectly well during the first time i select that item. In order to perform the action, i've to intentionally select the other item, then back to this item again. I believed that there might be a solution to free the buffer in the combo box to allow the same time to be selected and perform twice the action. Hope you guys understand what i meant! [:(] Kee

By selecting the same value you are not changing the value and so the script is not triggered [;)] To select the same value twice just create a VBS script on the ComboBox's MouseDown Event Script : [code]item.text = ""[/code]
