Default Dependant Combobox

Hi,
I have read quite a few article son comboboxes but am struggling with the
following -

I am currently using a worksheet that has dependant lists based on INDIRECT
method. My boss wants the input area to be a userform that holds a series
of comboboxes for data entry. .

I would be grateful for advice on the following -
1. User enters a pin number into the first combobox, I am unable to figure
out how to then have the combobox entry do a VLOOKUP and display the
associated data into 4 other boxes on the userform. I can do this with the
worksheet and imagine it can be done on the combobox, the idea is that the
user sees their pin number entry automatically generate their associated
name, workplace etc.

2. I then need to have the next combobox offer a range based on one of the
entries returned by the VLOOKUP.

For example, USER enters their PIN and 4 boxes are populated with USER NAME,
UNIT, WORKPLACE and CONTACT. The USER is then taken to the next combobox
whose choices have been populated as a result of the UNIT field.

I have tried the MS advice to populate the comboboxes via the RowSource
property (e.g. Lists!B2:B8) but am unable to figure out how to reference the
returned value UNIT.

I would be extremely grateful for any advice.

Mickey
