Once the user has selected from the dropdown the selected value should be in the text window of the control, so

MyVariable = Combo1.Value

If you used my variable or object names that wouldn't be unusual. You need to use names that are in your code.

Oops! The value property isn't in VB6 but it is in Access VBA.
