Max entries in a combo box ?

[GAORR]

When loading a combo box, I get the following error -
Run-time error '5'. I displayed a counter to determine how many gets loaded and the error occurs after the 32767 entry is loaded. Any comments would be appreciated.

The combo box uses an INT to allocate it's memory space, so you'll not get more than 32736 items.

But a small question - over 30 thousand items in a single combo? Ye Gads! I don't what you're loading in that sucker, but I suggest you find another control, like a Listview (everyone's favorite) or something.

Thanks for your quick response. I expected that was the reason - just wanted to confirm. And you are correct, the listview is probably the better way to go.
