with userform1
.combobox1.text = .refedit1.text
end with

lets say the string return is
refeditrange = "sheet1!$A5:$B10"
You can extract the columns using string references or cell references

set cellrange = range(refeditrange)
firstcol = cellrange.column
lastcolumn = firstcol + cellrange.columns - 1

you can do the same using string manipulations

Sub test()

refeditrange = "sheet1!$A5:$B10"

'get everything after first $
Firstcol = Mid(refeditrange, _
InStr(refeditrange, "$") + 1)
Lastcol = Firstcol
'check if column is one letter of two letters
If IsNumeric(Mid(Firstcol, 2, 1)) Then
'Column is A - Z
Firstcol = Left(Firstcol, 1)
Else
'Column is AA - IV
Firstcol = Left(Firstcol, 2)
End If
'get characters after 2nd $
Lastcol = Mid(Lastcol, _
InStr(Lastcol, "$") + 1)
If IsNumeric(Mid(Lastcol, 2, 1)) Then
'Column is A - Z
Lastcol = Left(Lastcol, 1)
Else
'Column is AA - IV
Lastcol = Left(Lastcol, 2)
End If

End Sub
