I've seen this example but using validation functionality constrains to the
current worksheet or external file that must be open. I couldn't get it to
use a range outside of the current worksheet. I store all my picklist values
on a different worksheet that's why I use the combo box list instead because
it allows to select a range outside of the current worksheet.

Taking this approach, Is there a way to run a sub once validation list#2 is
selected? With this approach, I'dhave to create a button to call the
subroutine...correct?

Take a look here at Debra Dalgliesh's tip on dependent lists using Data
Validation - This may be a mor elegant way of solving your problem.:-

I have 2 drop down list on my spreadsheet. #1 is the master and #2 is
based
on selection from #1.
For example: if a user select "Auto" in list #1, then in list #2, only a
list of Auto will be filled in.

My question is when I select a value in List#1 it automatically run both
subs combobox1_change and combobox2_change. It doesn't allow the user
the
select the drop down list #2.
Can someone help me so that only sub combobox2_change runs only when
drop
down list #2 is selected.

Thanks
