Populating a List from a file in a Word VBA form

[JudyL]

Is there a way to populate a list or combo box in a Word VBA form using an external file? This would allow someone to maintain the list that does not know VBA.

If your file is c:\combolines.txt, you can use

dim s as string
open "c:\combolines.txt" for input as #1
do while not eof(1)
line input#1,s
MyComboBox.additem s
loop
close#1

Each line in the text file is added to the combo box, in the same order as the text file.
