Default AddItem Method

It's very unusual to load a combo this way. one would
normally load it before the user selects an item.
Anyway, set a boolean to True

Public bLoaded as Boolean
in the general part of a module or userform - you don't
say where you use the combo.

Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButtonClick()

If NOT bLoaded then
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan Week 1"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan Week 2"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan Week 3"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan Week 4"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan Week 5"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Jan MTD"

bLoaded = True
End If
End Sub

hey guys
The above code adds the specified values to ComboBox1

when
a user clicks the drop down box on the combobox.

Problem
is when the user clicks the dropdown button again, the
values are added again so now there are 2 sets of the

same
values. If the user clicks it again, a 3rd set is

listed
and so on... How do I prevent these values from adding

up?


Thank you
