Standard Modules Help please

[johnnyboy23]

i have a combo button on my form from which
i want to set them up with data from MY sql7 database
i have a Standard Module

From my form load event of my form i want to
open a publicfunction in my Standard Module that opens my database and then loads my sql query result into my
combobox on my main form.

my question is this:
why from my module is my combobox out of scope and
how do i declare the combobox so its in scope
the combobox is called cmbInterviewer:
the below code is in my module

Public Function SetupHistoryCombo()

Dim dyna As Recordset
Dim theError As Long
Dim theid As Long
Dim myarray As String


SQL = "select InterviewerShortDesc from interviewer"
    Set dyna = db.OpenRecordset(SQL, dbOpenSnapshot, dbSQLPassThrough + dbSeeChanges)
    
    theError = Err
    
On Local Error GoTo 0
    
Select Case theError
Case 0
    Do Until dyna.EOF
        cmbInterviewed.AddItem = dyna("InterviewerShortDesc")
        'this code above, the method additem does not work???
        
        
        
       dyna.MoveNext
    Loop
    dyna.Close
    Set dyna = Nothing
Case 3146
    'No data
Case Else
    MsgBox Error
End Select
End Function

You say your combo is called cmbInterviewer, but I see
cmbInterviewed in your code?

Try refrencing the form before the cobobox name

Example:

formName.cmbInterviewed.additem...

where formName is the form containing the combobox?

i am calling my module from the form load event
so when in the module i use

frmCandidate.cmbInterviewed.AddItem dyna("InterviewerShortDesc")

it gets to this code then pops out of my function back at the form load event then gets to the part in the form load event that calls my function in my module and does a complete loop which i dont want
i have seen people declare in there module functions

Public Function SetupHistoryCombo(cmbinterviewed as combobox)

what does this mean i have tried it this way and in my module when i type my comboboxname. i can see the different
options i can use with this control
but when i run the project i get an error when my fuction is called up from the form load event.????
any ideas???
