If you know what item you are retrieving and which row it relates to in
your overall list you can use the ComboBoxes ListIndex property. Say
you have four names in your list. The first name in the combobox would
have a ListIndex value of 0. So if you wanted to find out what row the
name was in, you would just add 1 if the name was in row 1. If you are
unsure how that will work then copy this code and all should become
obvious. Just remember to substitute the name of your ComboBox for
CboNames.

Private Sub CboNames_Change()

MsgBox " The item " & CboNames.Text & ", corresponds to " & _
"a ListIndex value of: " & CboNames.ListIndex

End Sub

Something like this seemed to work ok:

Option Explicit
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

If Me.ComboBox1.ListIndex < 0 Then
Beep
Exit Sub
End If

With Me.ComboBox1
MsgBox Application.Range(.RowSource).Row + .ListIndex
End With

End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim myRng As Range
'just grab some data somewhere
Set myRng = Worksheets("sheet2").Range("d7:d19")
With Me.ComboBox1
.RowSource = myRng.Address(external:=True)
End With
End Sub
