Visual Basic :: AddItem To Combo List And Have The Combo List Be Able To Retain The Item Upon Recall

Combo Box Additem To List
I'm just learning VB, I'm trying do make a database, and a combo box contains a list of customers, I want the user to select from the list, but if they are typing a new name when they add the record the new company name will be added to the list.

I was saying:
Dim Customer as String
customer = cboCustomer.text

If cboCustomer.text <> cboCustomer.dataitem Then
cboCustomer.additem Customer
End If

It will add the item to the list at runtime, but if I stop the program and run it again, the new items entered are not in list anymore.
I was just using the list property of the combo box to populate the list with a few items. But I might use a text file or a table in Access with all the company names.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong, and if there is a better way to do this.
Thanks.

Getting A Combo Box List And Putting It In A List Box List On Another Form
I am finally writing my first MDI! I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would so far, but now I'm stuck. I need to have a list from a combo box copied into a list box on another form. I want it in the Form_Load() event. Right now I have:

Code:Private Sub Form_Load()
frmpresetedit.deletepreset.List = frmtimer1.cmbpresets.List
frmpresetedit.Show
End Sub

deletepreset is the list box, cmbpresets is my combo box.
It always comes up with a compile error at the .list part of cmbpresets.list and says that 'the argument is not optional'. What is my problem here? I'm sure this problem is simple and I'm probably just making a stupid mistake. What code do I need to use?
Thanks

What Is The Limits On COmbo Box, List Box And LIst View And How Do You Handle Situations W
OK<
I have looked at all 5 of my vb Barnes and noble books
under listbox
and did not find where it said what the limit was.

I learned how to read a data base (unbound even) into a list box, or combo box.

But now I have over 32,768 items,
my data base list has between 100,000 - 125,000 Parts I want to load.

I can think of a lot of cases where the data base you want to load into a list or combo box is well of 32768

So my questions are
( I did also search VBCITY)

1) What is the limits on
listbox
combo box
list view

and

where is it documented.

and 2

How do I handle the case of more than 32768 with a listview??

I did found a little bit about it on vbcity

Thanks

Combo Box Or List Box ??
I am using several small windows.
Space is at a premium.
At present, each window is just big enough to hold a combo box.
The drop down list works great for listing Read Only information only when needed.
This works fine but again, as space is at a premium, The initial empty text box for entering data is a waste of space.

Recommendations ???

Thank you in advance...

Help With Combo/list Box
Hello, I'm new to programming and have made it to this point and now I'm completely frustrated. I'm trying to finish a project that will allow the user to select the type of detail for their car from a combobox. Based on the selection made the interior and exterior work will be displayed in their respective listbox, but it is not happening. I've tried add.item to display the work and I've also tried loading all the work that can take place in the list property then trying the remove.item method. Needless to say that didn't work either. Can someone tell me if I'm close or provide and example or even tell me if I'm off in left field.
Thanks

Im trying to get a database into VB which i have done using a 'data' tool.

I want the user to select one of many options. So first I used I drop down combo box. I didn't like it because the user could enter something. So I changed it to a drop down list combo box. The user can't add anyhting now. My question is how do I reset the textbox? When I start the program the box is blank but once the user selects something is there any way to reset it? I can't make it equal to "".
Any ideas?
Thanks, AL

Distinct List From Combo Box
What I am doing is pulling from an access database a list of zip codes for one company. So that company may have 3 facilities in different locations.

However here is the catch, there may be 10 entries for that company. See each time a new contact gets addeded this becomes a new entry in the table. It may have a new zip or be the same as another one already in the DB.

What I have done is pulled all the zips for that facility out of the database and put them in a combo box on my form. Now I want to click that and only show each one once.

I thought of creating a new table and posting the company/zip there and then running a distinct query on the zip, but I am not sure how to create the table and it seems more complicated than I need.

Thanks for any ideas!!
