Default Reading data from a list box


Hi all,

I have a simple list box with two columns. The data for the columns are
read in from a worksheet within the workbook.

4421

When the user selects which steel grade they wish to use and then
clicks add; the data from the table is read to a spread sheet cell via
the following piece of code:

Private Sub subPutData()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Cells(8, 3).Value = lstGradeAndSMYS.Value
End Sub

This reads in the numerical value from the list box (i.e. SMYS, i.e.
the second column). What I would also like to be able to do is read in
the Steel Grade (i.e. the first column) and write that to a different
cell. I guess what I don't understand is why the above code chooses the
second column over the first column to write the data to Cell(8,3).

Any help would be greatly appreiated.

Best Regards,

Aaron
