I am trying to set the rowsource for a combo box from a table in a
database, To no avail.

I am using an ADOB connection, open the recordset and try to set the fields
value to the rowSource, but I get the error "invalid property value".
I also don't see how to have a value in multiple columns.

This is my last line of attack.
Me.xtype.RowSource = rst.Fields(0).Value

Can't help but think I am going about this the wrong way.
Any information is greatly appreciated.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim Recordset As ADODB.Recordset
Dim SQL As String

Set Recordset = New Recordset

SQL = "SELECT * FROM returned" '<--- Change to match your table

'The SELECT * will return everything from
'the specified table.

Recordset.Open SQL, connStr, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
'open the recordset

Do Until Recordset.EOF
UserForm1.ComboBox1.AddItem (Recordset.Fields.Item(3))
Recordset.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub

This is really an Excel Programming group, but anyway....

Look here for a great video tutorial on this:

Just what I was looking for, is there anyway to populate multiple columns?
