weird, the only diff is home vs pro, which, to me, shouldn't make a difference

here's your code stripped down to just the combobox and separators, which
runs OK on my pc

run on yours, see if it still shows incorrectly

the separators are OK - I left them in only for 'dressing'

must be something else in your code, something you haven't posted.

as mentioned earlier, post something that we can copy/paste/compile/run and
see the problem.

unfortunately I'm off to work now, so I won't be able to check back for a while.
someone else might be able to isolate the problem.
