combo boxes

with combo boxes where do i add the database for the combo box to look up the values?

im new to this so, if u can give me some sites to look at also on combo boxes that would be great

You need a datacombo to bind the list to a recordsource.

You need to add all the dropdown items in your code with a standard combo.

There is a lot of valuable VB information at www.mvps.org

ive looked there, but i cant find wut im looking for, ok i have my combo box named combo1, its data source is c:\test.mbd i have text box which datasource is combo1 and datafield is Items (which is wut i need out of the db) wut am i doing wrong?

ive gotten it so it reads the information thats required off the db, but it wont look pass the first cell, i can select the first item in my list but none of the rest

ok im tryin to get a combo box to read off a xls, ive added the Microsoft ADO Data Control plugin and had put a data controller in my exe, its hidden and has the name of data 1, my combo box (combo1) is data1 and has a data field of item **out of my fields in the xls, Item - Exp - Amount** i have then 2 text boxes who have a data source of data one and one has a data field of Exp and the other Amount, but when i launch it, the first item on the Items list displays and so downs the exp and amount, but if i try and select a different option from the combo box it acts like there is nothing there, when its clearly reading the xls file, can any one help wut have i missed out?
