How about: LOCAL lcValues lcValues = "0.1,0.5,1,2,3"
myCombo.RowSource = lcValues See also https://hackfox.github.io/section4/s4g387.html (RowSource, RowSourceType) and https://hackfox.github.io/section4/s4g489.html (ComboBox) from that second citation, a design note: "The behavior of lists and combos with numeric data confuses people. The key point is that, even when we think we're seeing numbers in a combo or list, we're actually seeing characters. Combos and lists cannot show numeric data. If you specify a RowSource that's numeric, FoxPro internally converts the data to character before displaying it. " and following that, "The Value of a list or combo (and, therefore, the ControlSource it’s bound to) can be either character or numeric. If the Value is character, it contains the text of the currently highlighted item. If the Value is numeric, by default it contains the index of that item. Before VFP 5, there was no way to get numeric data out of a list or combo. The BoundTo property lets you tell VFP to convert a numeric character string to a number before sticking it into Value or DisplayValue."
