Mutli Column Combo Boxes
Does anyone know how to create a multicolumn combobox. MSDN tells you to change the column property. Yet the standard combobox in the toolbox doen't have a cloumn property.
A listbox has columns a combobox doesn't, you can create your own combo box control with a button that has the combobox drop down arrow a textbox and a listbox with multiple columns, write events for the conrtol and there you go a combobox with multiple columns.
You can try using the combobox found in the MS Forms 2.0 library, but that one has restricted use (any machine where it's used must have an MS Office license.)
May be I misunderstood Q

Just realized you wanted a combo box. What type of data are you trying to display to the user?
