Are you using LIST-ITEM-PAIRS?

Is it duplicate codes that you want to avoid or duplicate displayed values?

Whichever method, you should be able to find a solution using either the LOOKUP attribute of the combo box, or the LOOKUP function on the combo's LIST-ITEMS or LIST-ITEM-PAIRS attribute.

You would have to build this into your combo box load.

e.g.
FOR EACH Table:
IF cbox:LOOKUP(Table.Field) EQ 0
THEN cbox:ADD-LAST(Table.Field).
END.

We use the PRIVATE-DATA for this kind of situations. You can store a comma separated string in it, each entry is referring to an element of the Combo Box but the entry itself can be different.

Yes, but be careful. The length of the character string you can store in PRIVATE-DATA is limited.
