Hi,
I have inserted a combobox on a worksheet that I want to act as a record
selector for showing one record from my list of 500+ entries. Trouble is I
have no idea how to write a code to achieve this. Any help or sample odes
would be appreciated.

Regards
gregork

Grgeor,

From previous posts I will assume an activeX control. You need to identify a
key column, lets say B. Set the ListFillrange property for the cells in
column B, and then use the .ListIndex property on a combobox click event to
identify which record (it will equate to the row - 1).

Thanks Bob. I've managed to set the ListFillrange property successfully and
my combobox now displays a list of all the records in A3:A500 but I am
afraid you lost me on the code for the click event. Could you be more
specific I have no idea how to write a code to make the cell I selected in
the combobox be the go to cell . I guess I would need to make the cell
selected highlighted or maybe just have the cursor go to the cell.

Many Thanks
gregork

Gregor,

Let's assume that the records are in the range H1:M500. The click event
would look like this

Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
Range("H1:M500")(ComboBox1.ListIndex + 1, 1).Select
End Sub

It would be better to name the range and use that of course.
