The values to be shown in the list have nothing to do with any tag, arevalues from a external database. I thought I could use the Smart Object 'Text List', but as far as Iknow it works linked to tags. Could anyone give me any idea on how to face this? Thanks, Trini.

It just uses a tag to read the selected value from the list. However it's main limitation is that you cannot dynamically change the values in the list [:(] If you need to dynamically change the text list values then you can use the any ActiveX listbox. I have used the MS Forms 2.0 Listbox successfully in the past. I think you may need Microsoft Office installed to get this control but I could be mistaken.

'VBS109 Dim cboComboBox Set cboComboBox = ScreenItems("ComboBox1") cboCombobox.AddItem "1_ComboBox_Field" cboComboBox.AddItem "2_ComboBox_Field" cboComboBox.AddItem "3_ComboBox_Field" cboComboBox.FontBold = True cboComboBox.FontItalic = True cboComboBox.ListIndex = 2 and you can use cboComboBox.ListIndex to read values.. ps : if you wish to use listbox or combobox.. can't you ?
