Default combo box beginner question...

I can't seem to get this code to operate. The code is in UserForm1 as shown
below:
Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Load UserForm1
Call Init
Label1.Caption = "Enter System Type:"
CBox1.Value = Null
For i = 1 To 3
CBox1.AddItem SystemType(i).Name
Next i
End Sub

I assumed, to be on safe side, to clear the content of my combobox (CBox1).
The data I want to use to fill the combo box is in a previously loaded array
(SystemType(x).Name, but it obviously doesn't work. Any ideas?

for completeness - as Norman Jones pointed out, the AddItems need to be
..AddItems with a period to show they are qualified by Me.Internet

Private Sub Userform_Initialize()
With Me.Internet
.AddItem "A"
.AddItem "B"
End With
End Sub

You will see very few answers from Microsoft Employees. These are

primarily
peer to peer support. Those MS employees that do answer indicate they

are
employees with something like

Buddy Rich [MSFT]

or
Buddy Rich [MS]

or something similar.

So, no I am not a microsoft employee.

If internet is the name of the combobox, it isn't going to change

unless
you
type something in it or you make a selection - I doubt that is what

you
want, so put your code in the Initialize event of the Userform. This

should
be in the userform module( select the events from the dropdowns at the

top
of the module to make sure they are declared correctly).

I've tried to find how to make choices in a combo box but had no

luck.
This
is the code I wrote, but it doesn't show up in the combo box:


Private Sub Internet_Change()
With Internet
AddItem "A"
AddItem "B"
End With
End Sub


Why doesn't this show up when form is ran???
Thanks ahead of time,
Tom
