No. Like the program itself, data has to be stored somewhere. If its
not in the program when you compile it, then you will have to load it
from a file when the program runs.

Yes, but it is far larger than you should ever put in a list. It is not
an exact number, but can be dependant on the size of the items you add.
Do some tests to see if it will be enough....

Of what? My combo boxes don't have an Item property.
The List property is an array of the items you have added to the 'list'.

Thank you Larry for rapid answers

In my comboboxes, i do have an ITEMDATA property and also a LIST property.
Both seems to me equivalents. I Havn't experienced these two yet.

Thanks (many)

The List property is an array of strings. (to be displayed)

The ItemData property is an array of Longs. (to be used for identifying
List items in code)
You might use the ItemData property if several items in the list have the
same meaning. Or you might use the ItemData property if the user selects
an item which has some numeric meaning. It's there if you need it.

Don't put more than 32767 (the maximum integer value) items in a ListBox
or ComboBox. VB won't stop you from adding more, but some funny thing
happen. For example, if you add a few more items, the ListCount property
will return the wrong value. Certainly, if you have more items than this,
you should be using a String array, a temp file, or some other method.

I don't understand the first question. If your code doesn't have the
ability to remove items, then the items are permenant. (?)
