I'm attempting something that should be very simple, but is turning out not to be. &nbsp;Here's the line that works:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; cboSolutions.AddItem rsCase(&quot;Solution_Descripti<wbr />on&quot;)<br />
<br />
where &quot;Solution_Description&quot; is a large string. &nbsp;cboSolutions. is a standard combo box.<br />
<br />
I've decided I want to add the ID in to the index field of the combo with each string entry, so I tried:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;cboSolutions.AddItem rsCase(&quot;Solution_Descripti<wbr />on&quot;), rsCase(&quot;Solution_ID&quot;)<br />
<br />
where &quot;Solution_ID&quot; is an integer. &nbsp;It didn't like this at all. &nbsp;I expermented by putting a straight integer in the second field, and by putting a string literal in the first field after that.<br />
<br />
What am I missing?

Problem with AddItem

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
