as a component of my own VB application, instead of a new window?
Thanks in advance,

I have made a user form, predictably for users to input data. Some of
the data eg. name does not have to be specific so a textbox works fine
however other data does eg. department so i thought a combo box would
be more appropriate, where the data input has to match one of the drop
