Default Read List1 and write List2

This is a 2 part question.
1. I create 2 lists, List1 on column A and List2 in column B. List1 and
List2 are linked to a Forms ComboBox and can be switch from one list to the
other via 2 OptionButton. List1 is the narrative of a job and List2 is the
acronym/code for the narrative. What I do is look at the narrative and then
click on one of OptionButtons to switch to the acronym and click on it to
trigger a macro to paste that/ code to a preselected cell. This works fine,
but I would like to change it to something more stream line, like I see the
Narrative(from List1) on the combobox and when I click/choose one of the
values it narrative it writes the code. ie; I select the value "Photograph
difficult matter" and it writes PDM on a selected cell. I had some
ideas(Vlookup) but I was not able to make it work Any guidance will be
appreciated

2.When I created the Forms combobox and the I change form List1 to Liist2
via clicking on OptionButtons the combobox will automatically refresh to the
respective cell, meaning the value of A2 would change to the value of B2 by
switching Option Boxes. The question is, when I create a Control Combobox It
Will not refresh automatically, is there something I can do to autorefresh.

Thank you very much for your help

Kevin
