Hi,
I currently have a combo box which is populated by data from an Excel
spreadsheet. I wish to have the combo box only be populated with data
which is not on another spreadsheet (within the same workbook).
For instance, List1 on Sheet1 populates the combo box - And then List 2
on Sheet2 contains entries made by my Excel form, drawn from the data
listing on Sheet1. I wish to avoid duplicate entries in part by
removing the already-entered data from the combo box.

Thanks for any help you can provide. :)
Louis

code below

'////Background code for combo box population
'////No Editing
Private Function UniqueItemList(InputRange As Range, _
HorizontalList As Boolean) As Variant
Dim cl As Range, cUnique As New Collection, i As Long, uList() As
Variant
Application.Volatile
On Error Resume Next

For Each cl In InputRange
If cl.Formula < "" Then
cUnique.Add cl.Value, CStr(cl.Value)
End If
Next cl
UniqueItemList = ""
If cUnique.Count 0 Then
ReDim uList(1 To cUnique.Count)
For i = 1 To cUnique.Count
uList(i) = cUnique(i)
Next i
UniqueItemList = uList
If Not HorizontalList Then
UniqueItemList = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(UniqueItem List)
End If
End If

On Error GoTo 0
End Function
