[AccessD] using ADO to populate combos - was RE: Error3048Cannotopen any more databases

My NoTables sample at
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/OtherLibraries.asp# uses ADO
disconnected recordsets and also populates a combobox with a callback,
in case anyone wants to play with it.  This was built in and for Access
2000, which is why everything is unbound.

Long ago I tried using call back functions and the only way I could
figure out to do it was write a callback for each object.  That just
doesn't work when you want to implement this easily and automatically
system wide - five hundred different combos.

Use a callback function.

I was under the perhaps naive belief that with Access 2000 and greater,
a combo could be populated by an ADO recordset, i.e. it's rowsource
property could be an ado recordset.  When I go out and look, I am
running into methods that build up a string and the row source type is
set to value list.
That is a rather useless solution in the majority of cases since the max
limit of characters in the list is around 2000.

Is it in fact possible to make the rowsource an ADO recordset or am I
delusional?  If possible, how is it done?  Example code would be nice.
