Default COMBO BOX CALCULATION !

I don't think you should use two comboboxes. The second one should never be
used--it'll only be displayed to the user.

In fact, I think it would be much easier to drop the comboboxes and use
Data|Validation for just the cells that will contain the item name.

Then use a formula in column B:
=if(a1="","",vlookup(sheet2!a:b,2,false))

and in d1:
=if(a1="","",b1*c1)

You can find lots of tips for Data|Validation at Debra Dalgleish's site:
