What is 'too many'. I have comboboxes that list thousands of rows.
Don't know what you mean by 'plus minus'.

Hi -
If you are using combo boxes with many rows of data to choose from, try looking at the Auto Expand feature of combo boxes, which finds matching entries as you type. The combo box data needs to be sorted for this to be useful.

Allen Browne has an excellent approach, here, on handling Comboboxes with huge numbers of Records:
