In the click event you also might try

application.Activecell.Activate
as the first line.

The workaround used for the moment is to valorize the "linkedCell"
attribute
of the combobox choosing a cell behind the combo itself and reference this
cell in the code when i need the combobox value ... I don't know why but
in
this seems all ok.

in error (error that stop excel itself). Because the code is fired by a

the error doesn't appear, but if the first action on the file is
changing the
combobox I get the error (seems that need somthing like a "set
context").
