I'm writing an app that needs a way for users to pick an item, but they need more information than just one field.

Is there a way to populate a DataCombo box with more than just one field, other than writing a loop, passing in strings, then having to analyze the string for the data to pass to the next control?

Actually, no...he's populating a second box with one field from the first combo box with one field.

I have already searched and cannot find how to do this.

What language do you use for developing the app?
The solution of your problem may be language dependant (e.g. some languages have built-in such functionallity in ComboBoxes)

I'm coding in VB6, but so far having to go the loop routine. I was just hoping there was an easier way.

It would be nice if there were a way to set DataComboBoxes to a set of fields instead of just one. Is this possible? That is my question.
