That's a lot of items for a combobox. The software loads the contents of 
the dataSource into memory.

You might be better served using something else, like a browse or something.

Kens right.
Another option is to build a little child form with seeker on it.  Then you 
can popup the form by way of them clicking a little button at the right side 
of the field or use the onGotFocus of the field to popup the form.  In 
either case it will work better and you can more columns plus more rows.
