Well... I am not a member.  Sigh.

But now that you have advised me that it is possible, I shall not be
deterred.

Susan Harkins and I wrote an article in Access Advisor, "Get Better
Performance from Microsoft Access List Control-Based Forms", which talks
about using ADO disconnected recordsets as a rowsource for Combos and List
boxes. Works for Access 2000 and later.

You could cache the recordsets when they are first needed, and play them
back to any combo on any tab that needed it.

As far as callbacks, true callbacks are probably a bridge too far using just
VBA, but you should be able to satisfactorily simulate one using interfaces
and the appropriate wrapper classes for the combos.
