Default how to use Combo box to lookup and retrieve customers details

Thanks ever so much.

However having done that it seems that I am only bound by the data in the
list. Is there a way I can also entre/type data that is NOT in the defined
list? i.e a new customer whjos details in not already entred.

1) Use data Validation to control Sheet1 data entry.

NOTE WELL: Naming ranges makes data validation work between different
sheets.

2) Use Vlookup to return values from Sheet2 based on valued entered in
Sheet1

Please give me some clue.

I have a sales invoice form on sheet1. All customers details such as
name;surname;etc are in sheet2. Can I use a combo box to retrive customers
details from the other sheet in to the form on sheet1? short of this I
have
to type all details for every invoice I need to issue.

Many thanks for your help
