I'm in the middle of creating a small rolodex program. The records are
entered and searched through an screen form. I want to implement some of
the form's fields as ComboBoxes, to make it easier to search for a
particular record. For instance the Last Name field would be a combobox in
which the user can enter a name or pull down the list and pick one.
My question is, what is the size limit for a combobox list? Each rolodex
file could contain up to a 1,000 names in each rolodex file and I wonder if
that would break the combo boxes.
There are 2 Replies.

The total capacity of a Combo Box is slightly less than 64k, the limit to
the length of a single item is about 1k, and the maximum number of Items is
5440.

Has anyone tried to load up a combo box with a 1,000 or so messages? Does
performance get too slow?
The actual limits look good enough to meet my needs, but I wonder if I
should look at another method. Any suggestions?
