I've got a mental blank, I want one of those things that is a text box with little up and down arrows on the right so you can choose a number. What's it called?
Well it's not a combobox. it's got an up arrow AND a down arrow, and you use it for selecting numbers. You see them all the time, for things, like selecting the time on windows clock. I can't find "up down" control in the list though.
Active X Spin Control seems to be the arrows on their own, without a text box attatched. I've given up now, I'm just going to go with a combo box! But I have hit my next problem! lol.
I don't think you're giving up as much as you've found your own answer. I'm guessing the spin thing Col suggested is what you you've seen being used in the past. Just couple it with a standard text box a you have it -
