I have a combobox on a worksheet. Apparently the value displayed in a combobox when the workbook was last saved will reappear in the combobox when the workbook is again first opened. However, the list of values associated with the combobox is not saved and will be empty when the workbook is first opened. And the clear method will have no effect upon the combobox. SO why in the world doesn't the clear method also clear this value? According to Office help files the clear method clears all list items and and clears the text box. What's the deal here? Am I actually going to have to assign Null to the combobox's value property?
