Hi markspace,
 thanks a lot for the two links you suggested me about the Java Programming
Language!   0;-)

The first one, about the "correct" usage of JComboBox itself, is very detailed 
and I think I can find what I need, reading the lots of examples.

The second one, about the database connection, will be very useful for me, as I 
need to get the data for the items of my JComboBox from a DataBase Table.

After all, my needs are very simple: (o) to read some records (fields required: 
'IDentifier' and 'Description') from a DB-Table
(o) to show the 'Description' of the records as Items of the JComboBox (o) to 
do something else with the 'IDentifier' of the selected Item within the 
JComboBox

Thanks again for your precious help,
 Greetings.
  Roberto
