combobox in a form

[Arasch Sajjadi]

hello,

is there any dataset limitation in a combobox? i fill my combobox from a
table with 12000 records, but i get only the top 10000.
what is wrong?

if there is a limitation, what can i do?

thanks a lot

Anything more than a few hundred is a performance killer anyway. Add another
ComboBox or a TextBox that can be used to filter the existing list to a smaller
sub-set.

I often prompt for the first few characters in the GotFocus event of the
ComboBox and filter the list based on the user's entry in an InputBox.
