Extracting value from Combination drop down-edit box
 

I'm new at this so please be easy on me. I'm using MS Excel 2000

My problem is I'm tring to extract user information from a Combination drop
down-edit box from the Userform/dialogsheet and place it on a spredsheet. The
cell link for the list control works fine but when the user enters data that
is not in the list I need to extract it. the code I've been using works fine
for a editbox, but does not work for the Combination box. I'm sure it's just
a "KeyWord" Issue, but I'm at a lost for it. I was using the "keyword"
EditBox for extracting the infomation for the edit box what would it be for
the Combination drop down-edit box?

Sample Code:

Sheets("{Sheet Name}").Select
Range("{Cell Name}").Value = DialogSheets("{dialogsheet
name}").EditBoxes("{Control Name}").Text

Thanks..

Bob,

I don't know much about DialogSheets, but this usually works with my
UserForms (assumes the form you have is named UserForm1 and the combobox is
named Combobox1):

Sheets("{Sheet Name}").Select
Range("{Cell Name}").Value = UserForm1.Combobox1.Value

If you are executing the code while the UserForm has the focus, you probably
don't even need to specify UserForm1

That Works fine for userforms environment but not in the DialogSheets
environment. Thanks anyway.
