setspec	A set specification whose members are used to set the contents of the list box or combo box. If setspec is omitted, the current set is used, if it exists.
expression	Any expression. For each member of setspec (up to num members), the value of expression is determined and used as one item in the list or combo box. Expr2 can use fields in setspec.
