Using Combo boxes in Access forms

I am developing a tool using forms in MS access. When I try to use VB controls like a combo box or a list box , the properties such as addItem and RemoveItem of the control is not listed and hence it gives a compilation error.

How do I get access to recognize the properties?

This problem occurs in laptops only. Same code works fine in desktops. Is there anyhting to be enabled in laptops. Same version of MS access (2000) is used in both.


Any help is appreciated.

There is no need for addItem in msaccess combobox.
me!combobox.Rowsource = "Value List"
me!combobox.RowSource = "val1;val2;val3;val4"
or if you want to use a field from a table as rowsource
me!combobox.Rowsource = "Table/Query"
me!combobox.RowSource = "Select your field from your table"

It has nothing to do with desktop or laptop.

I am adding an additional functionality to an existing applicaiton which uses these methods. As I have to run the entire application in the laptop, it would be helpful if I could get these properties enabled.

I would like to know the references,the versions and any additional add-ons, if required to get these properties enabled.
