This is actually a limitation in the interpreter that cannot call a function 
with more than 64 arguments. Then it seems that there is a bug in the 
compiler: instead of raising an error (too many arguments), it wraps the 
number of arguments, it takes the 100 MOD 64 = 36 last arguments, and so your 
combo-box gets only the 64 to 99 entries.

A workaround for that is filling the combo-box by code: you create a text file 
with one entry by line, and you load it into the combo-box this way:

MyComboBox.List = Split(File.Load("MyFile.txt"), "\n")

Sorry for the inconvenience!
