I have a sheet which workouts the names of all other worksheets in another
workbook. A combobox is then populated with these names allowing the user
to select one of them. I need to set a string variable to the name the user
selects in the combobox so that the rest of my code with run from the data
on that sheet. How do I set a variable to hold the string value in the
combobox. Many thanks.
