It really doesn't matter what kind of formfield you use, the macro works the same way, regardless. As for "I think it's a drop down list I'm supposed to use, and not a combo box", there is no such thing as a combo box formfield. There is a combo box content control, but your shouldn't mix content controls and formfields in the same document - besides which the code in the link only works with formfields.
