Outlook Form - Combo Box (vbscript) 1

[BenChristian]

I'm trying to populate combox box values on an outlook form but I need commas in the actual values i.e "lastname1, firstname1;lastname2, firstname2". The problem is that it reads both commas and semicolons as seperators. I tried using the following script:

Sub Item_Open()

Set FormPage = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2")
Set Control = FormPage.Controls("ListBox1")
Control.PossibleValues = "Lastname1, Firstname1;Lastname2, FirstName2"

End Sub

Does anyone know how to identify a comma as part of the text value instead of a separator? Any assistance/suggestions are much appreciated

Thanks.

Hello sonicyouth108,

Use additem method instead.

    with Control
        .AddItem "Lastname1, Firstname1"
        .AddItem "Lastname2, Firstname2"
    end with

If you insists of the _dissuaded_ method, try escape it like:
Control.PossibleValues = "Lastname1\, Firstname1;Lastname2\, FirstName2"
