John I would rebuild the list of items each time, something like this: mycombobox.items.clear; if condition1 then mycombobox.items.Add('Method1'); if condition2 then mycombobox.items.Add('Method2'); if condition1 then mycombobox.items.Add('Method3'); ...etc; Of course you would need to keep track of each item's position in order to respond to the combobox's OnClick event.
