I have an Excel workbook with various sheets!
(1) sheet (Recipe Input) has a form named frmRecipeCostingData with a
Combobox named (Ingredient)
Textbox named (Unit)
Textbox named (Unit Cost)

Another sheet named (Food Inventory) has
columns A (Ingredient), G (Unit), & I (Unit Cost)

I want to use the combobox in the form to lookup
the ingredient on Food Inventory Sheet and pull the corresponding data in
column G & I into the form.
Where do I start?

Hi,
I did something similar a while back - this might get you started.
The code below populates a combo box from data in a spreadsheet. When
you said that one sheet has a form, etc.. did you mean that there is a
trigger (button) on that sheet to open that form?
I've subbed your sheet name in the first bit of code below - basically
in the Private Sub cboCourse_Change() section, you can specify what
will happen when that combo box (Ingredient) is changed.
Hope this is helpful,
Louis

Dim MyUniqueList
'////combo box setup
'Set up primary (first) combo box (cboCourse)
With Me.cboCourse
'.Clear ' clear the listbox content
MyUniqueList = UniqueItemList1(Range("Food Inventory!A1:A300"),
True)

For i = 1 To UBound(MyUniqueList)
.AddItem MyUniqueList(i)
Next

i = 0
.ListIndex = 0 ' select the first item

End With


'////Background code for combo box population
'////No Editing
Private Function UniqueItemList1(InputRange1 As Range, _
HorizontalList1 As Boolean) As Variant
Dim cl_1 As Range, cUnique1 As New Collection, i As Long, uList1()

'////first collection (cUnique) for including blank spaces and
'////maintaining index count for spreadsheet :)
For Each cl_1 In InputRange1
'If cl.Formula < "" Then
cUnique1.Add cl_1.Value, CStr(cl_1.Value)

Next cl_1


'////set up count for spreadsheet
