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: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html John wrote: Hi I need some one help.....

Glad you found what you needed at Debra's site.
But I've found it best to just post followups directly to the newsgroups. There are lots and lots of people who can answer your question--and you won't have to wait for me to read my email.
