Problem is, when I chose one server, and I want to chose another server without closing the program, the list with printers don't refresh.

How can I fix this?

i've found a solution by adding

GUICtrlSetData($Combo2,"")

before I fill the list

How do you know ? What testing have you done to make sure that theright code-lines have been executed ?

Personally I have two problems with your code :

1) both drop-down boxes are just 25 pixels high, leaving, on my OS (W98) no room for the drop-down part of the box (containing the names of the servers and printers). Add something like 90 pixels so you can see at least 3 items before getting a scroll-bar

2) When you select another server the new printers seem to be added (in the second combo-box) to the allready existing ones. Something that became very clear when I renamed the printers to "Srv1Prn1", "Srv1Prn2", etc.

In short : first clear the combo-box, than put the new printers into it.

Hope that helps

[edit]

I see you allready found the problem :-)
