Hello!

I am creating and would like to have the following functionality within the
form.

I have the part description & part numbers on a separate worksheet in the
workbook.

I want to create a dropdown list on the invoice that lets me choose the part
description and will automatically fill the part number in the cell next to
it.

Help!
Thanks as always!
