Default Editable, Linked Combobox.

No, that won't work.
I already have a UserForm with VBA-code taking care of all input for the
calculation.
The calculation "document" is only the printout and eventually a saved
calculation line as well (for later retrieval). For these purposes I need a
customer reference.

It looks to me that some macro work would be required to add new records to
your database. The built-in functionality/integration of the combobox with
a worksheet seems to be pretty limited. For my money better way to go is to
try to use the built-in Data, Form feature, or for something even better
look at this from John Walkenbach:
