Combo Box List Items

Hi Guys,

I am new to VB and am having trouble loading a combo box with DB values. Don't have the DBCombo component so am doing it the hard way.

Set myDB = OpenDatabase("c:\Defects\Defects97.mdb")
Set rst = myDB.OpenRecordset("Select * From MajorComponents")
rstc = rst.RecordCount

For rstx = 0 To rstc - 1
Combo1.AddItem rst!MajorComponents & ""
rst.MoveNext
Next
rst.Close

This code almost works. It generates the following error message:
"Object doesn't support this property or method" but still loads some of the records (first 3).

I'd appreciate some help.

Cheers

first, the RecordCount prop is not to be trusted :)

I always do a movelast movefirst before using the reccount.

maybe the fourth element is empty?

try this:

VB Code:

Set myDB = OpenDatabase("c:\Defects\Defects97.mdb") 
Set rst = myDB.OpenRecordset("Select * From MajorComponents") 
 
While Not rst.EOF
     Combo1.AddItem rst!MajorComponents & " "  'see the space? :)
     rst.MoveNext 
Wend
rst.Close

try a while loop? while not EOF u add and movenext so u can give the for loop a miss kind of troublesome sometimes :P

heee i'm new in vb too just a suggestion.

Fantastic, works like a charm!!

Thanks very much.

:cool:
