Hi,

so the problem is when you select India on country box, you see cities getting populated; but if u select India once more you see the city list getting Appened to the list again?

and please post the code that wud be helpful

How are you storing the list data for the comboBox? If you're using a Vector, you can call Vector.clear() then add your cities to it. Then I believe calling JComboBox.validate() will update the display with the new values.
