    Simple Combo Box Query

    Having much trouble acheiving simple population of Combo Box in Word:

    Open word, switch to design mode, add Combo box. Add code:
    Private Sub Document_Open()
    ComboBox1.Clear
    ComboBox1.AddItem "A"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "B"
    ComboBox1.AddItem "C"
    End Sub
    I then press the 'design mode' button again (to come out of editing) and save.

    Upon re-opening the document I am always dropped right back into design mode and the combobox is empty .

    Why am I always dumped back into design mode, the finished doc should just appear as a normal operational doc?! Why is the combo box still empty?!

    Ive copied a number of guides but just cant find out where Im going wrong .

    Many thanks for any tips!
    Jez



    Edit: Ive just tried saving the file as read only, but the doc still comes up in design mode and it lets you modify the doc at will...?

    How/Where have you got the combobox?

    From the looks of things its not in a user form, so how have you got it?

    Maybe this is where the problem lies, either that or it doesn't like the way you are filling the combo/time when you are filling the combo.
