how to select an item in a combobox using the listindex of another
combobox - from a parent form?

i did it this way, but must be a better way.

Dim strItem As String
strItem = Forms!frmMain!
frmMainSub.Form.cbOnSub.ItemData(cbOnMain.ListIndex)
Forms!frmMain!frmMainSub.Form.cbOnSub.Value = strItem

My apologies - this is not an answer to your question. I can find no other
way to post a new question for myself. I've checked the help file and
followed the instructions on posting a new question but it's not happening
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to post without hi-jacking someone
else's question?
Thanks, Chrissie

Are you talking about linked combo boxes? For example if you select a state
in one combo box you would like the other combo box to show you just the
cities associated with that state? Otherwise I do not understand the question.

Just don't use the infuriating, buggy webpage interface to these newsgroups.
Microsoft makes a real effort to conceal the fact that the webpage is NOT the
newsgroups; it's only a newsreader, and a pretty poor one at that!

Open Outlook Express (not Outlook!); create a new account using Tools...
Accounts; set the news server to msnews.microsoft.com on the News tab. No ID
and no password are required, but DON'T put your real email address on the
EMail Address line (spammers will harvest it if you do). I use

(e-mail address removed)

Put something with a nonexistant domain so you don't cause messages that will
hassle other people.

You can then select which newsgroups you want to see, post and receive
messages, etc. without the hassles of Microsoft's webpage.

all i need to know is how to select a combobox item with a number.
i need to know which combobox property i can say = 1 or 5 or 0 and
that item will be selected and visible in the box.

how little I know!
