You need to use Set before emp;
and (Watch for word-wrap below)

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim emp As Range
Set emp = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(2, 1),
Cells(Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row, 1))
For Each Cell In emp
If Cell.Value < "" Then
ComboBox1.AddItem Cell.Value
End If
Next
'ComboBox1.Value = "Please Select"
End Sub

Thanks a lot Jmay, the code works perfectly. You just saved me, I am
doing my internship & have to get a sw working & couldn't get past the
first hurdle.

If its not too much trouble could you explain this line in your code

Set emp = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(2, 1),
Cells(Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row, 1))

I understand about the Set part but dont understand why Cells have to
be referenced like that. This might help me in my programming & wont
require me to ask your help again & again. Whats wrong with the way I
used the Cells thing, it took only the last row of info from my range
and the code for that was from a book??

Thanks a lot again, this really is a great community & u ppl are
awesome
