Default Reading data from a list box

Aaron,

The "LinkedCell" displays the "Value" of the ListBox.
The "Bound" column specifies the column used for the value.
Look in the properties window of the ListBox.

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
