Argument not optinonal

"Compile error:
argument not optional"

whats wrong?

.List needs a number. Because it's a list, you need to specify an index, like so:

```
If something = cmdType1.List(0) Then
```
Also, you've got some odd syntax there. Are you comparing a list to itself?

I want to make it so that you can't use anything else then something what is in the list, because when you press backspace you can type your own text. But now I have runtime-error 13, "mismatch"

Set the Combo box's Style property to "2 - Dropdown List". That will prevent text entry.
