Can I open a notepad txt file that contains only a list of names, and use
that to fill a combobox on a form?

Failing that, can populate the combobox from an Excel file, without having
to open the Excel file?

Thanks in advance
Daniel

Sub ReadStraightTextFile()
Dim sStr as String
Dim LineofText As String

Open "C:\FILEIO\TEXTFILE.TXT" For Input As #1
sStr = ""
Do While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, LineofText
userform1.combobox1.AddItem LineofText
Loop
'Close the file
Close #1
End Sub

Thanks very much Tom.

If you just happen to have any questions about New Zealand Rugby teams,
that's about the only way I'll ever by able to reciprocate!
