Does the code run now? We don't really have a lot of context to work with here. What
is the combo box being used for? This looks like a placeholder function for perhaps
something in development. Your predecessor may have gotten tired of hand-coding all
the options offered for this control, and started work on automating the process. Was
there any commenting in the code?
Any documentation?
Do you need or want the functionality?
Anyway, if I got started with all the questions, I'd still be here after the rise and
fall of the Fourth Reich. Some more details on where you are trying to get from here
would help.
