Default Automatically remove a Combo Box

I figured out how to name the combo box when it was being created so I could
use the same referance to delete it. Thank you Tom for the code to delete
DropDown .

An ActiveX combobox is both an OleObject and a Shape
Activesheet.OleObject("Combobox1").Delete
Activesheet.Shapes("Combobox2").Delete

A combobox from the forms toolbar is both a shape and an dropdown
Activesheet.Shapes("Drop Down 1").Delete
ActiveSheet.DropDowns("Drop Down 1").Delete

A dropdown from data validation using the list option
ActiveCell.Validation.Delete
ActiveCell.offset(1,0).Select

I am trying to find out how to automatically remove a combo box after it

is
created. This process needs to be repeatable. i.e. use one combo box

response
to generate a new combo box, then remove the new combo box after the

message
box that pops up from the second box actions have been acknowledged. Then

be
able to repeate the process.
