copying text via linked cell from combo box to macro code
 

Bearing in mind that I am certainly no more than intermediate leve
Excel user, I wish to run a macro in the following way:

a combo box has a linked cell, the user selects from combo box and th
linked cell then contains text. As a macro (A), I copy this text int
the code of another macro (B), and still in macro (A) I then run macr
(B), reorganising my spreadsheet in the desired fashion. Also in A,
return macro (B) to its initial state, allowing macro A to run again.

When I actually try to do this, I either have trouble pasting th
user's choice, the paste is there but inactive in the right clic
department, or I get run time errors, with yellow highlighting or re
text in the code of macro A.

The macro code seems to use a "with...end with" reference type routin
which is unfamiliar to me.

I perhaps shouldn't be using a combo box, is there an alternative ? Th
nearest analogy to it working I can think of is a user searching on
website from a list of options. Select a, b, c, or d and the compute
returns stuff relevant to a, b, c, or d
