The InStr("String", "String you are looking for") will return > 0 if a string is found.
Hence if StingA = "a b c d xx d c b a"
Dim StringSearch as integer
StringSearch = Instr(StringA, "xx")
StringSearch should return 9 [the position in the string of "xx"].
Now all you have to do is use the ComboBox list index property to search each of the combo boxes values and identify if the string is present in them.
