Hi FSt1,
Thanks for the prompt response.
Unfotunately I didn't explain myself well.
What I meant to say was that I want to populate the ComboBox Value at Design
Time not the ComboBox RowSource.

It is intended that sometimes the value will be populated from its dropdown
and other times from a value in another ComboBox.

hi
2 basic ways to do that.
set the rowsource or use the add item method.
this would more that likely be used in the userform initilazation.
assuming you have a list on a sheet somewhere.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.ComboBox1.ListFillRange = ""
Me.ComboBox1.ListFillRange = "A1:A12"
end sub

or the add item method
Dim r As Range
Set r = Sheets("sheet1").Range("A1:A12")
me.ComboBox1.Clear
For Each c In r
me.ComboBox1.AddItem c.Value
Next c

above code is untested by should work.

UserFrom1.ComboBox1 = "John Howard"

The above code populates the control ComboBox1 with the string John Howard.
This is just a Runtime with the ComboBox not retaining the string.
What is the syntes for populating the control ComboBox at Design Time so
that the string is retained even after closing and reopening/
