    Small Counter issue

    Has been sometime I have been programming and never was REALLY good but it's fun. I have a small problem. I want to add 10 line's to a Combo box with a number:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    tmpCount = 1
    Do While tmpCount < 10
    Combo1.AddItem ("Added item" + Str(tmpCount))
    tmpCount = tmpCount + 1
    Loop
    End Sub

    This works fine but I want the number to be attached to the text "Added item" so it reads "Added Item1",etc. Now there is a space between the text and the number looking like "Added Item 1". Anyone know how to fix this?

    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()
        Dim tmpcount
        tmpcount = 1
        Do While tmpcount < 10
            Combo1.AddItem ("Added item" & tmpcount)
            tmpcount = tmpcount + 1
        Loop
    End Sub

    simple

    add trim before

    ie

    Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim tmpcount
    tmpcount = 1
    Do While tmpcount < 10
    Combo1.AddItem ("Added item" & trim(str$(tmpcount)))
    tmpcount = tmpcount + 1
    Loop
    End Sub
    'this way it avoids the VB6 auto conversion
    'trim cancels the leading space of the number converted

    Use CStr or Format instead of Str (that adds a space in front of the returned string)
