I am using Office 2003. I have a database that stores manufacturer
information on 1 sheet ('MANCODE') and their product information on another
sheet ('ProCode') I have 2 user forms for entering the information. I am
trying to have when the user either enters in or chooses a manufacterers name
in userform ('FrmManu') from combobox ('CbxMfg') and clicks the next button
or the add button the name ('CbxMfg.Value') from combobox ('CbxMfg') gets
transfered to userform ('FrmProduct') combobox('CbxMfg') and searches upon
form initialize sheet ('Procode') columns 1 (manufacturer name) and 2
(product name) for every product that matches the 'CbxMfg' text value and
populates the combobox ('CbxProd') list so the user may choose the product
from the drop down, however if the search produces no products matching the
manufacturer name the a msgbox will show infoming the user to enter the new
product name. The current code I have only links the two comboxes togeter it
does not search for the names and that is what I am looking to do. Here is
the code for both user forms:

User form 'FrmManu'

Private Sub BtnAdd_Click()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim res As Variant
Set ws = Worksheets("MANCODE")

'find first empty row in database
iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

'check for the manufacturer name
If Trim(Me.TxtMan.Value) = "" Then
Me.TxtMan.SetFocus
MsgBox "Please enter the Manufacturer's name"
Exit Sub
End If

'find and copy state abbreviation to row 5
With Worksheets("Lists")
res = Application.VLookup(Me.CmbSt.Value, _
Worksheets("Lists").Range("A:B"), 2, False)
If IsError(res) Then
Else
ws.Cells(iRow, 4).Value = (res)
End If
End With

'copy the data to the database
Application.EnableEvents = False
ws.Cells(iRow, 2).Value = Me.TxtAdd.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 3).Value = Me.TxtCity.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 5).Value = Me.TxtZip.Value
ws.Cells(iRow, 6).Value = Me.TxtPhn.Value
Application.EnableEvents = True

'the sort will fire with this line.
ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = Me.TxtMan.Value
FrmProduct.CboMan.Value = Me.TxtMan.Value


'clear the data
Me.TxtMan.Value = ""

Me.TxtCity.Value = ""
Me.CmbSt.Value = ""
Me.TxtZip.Value = ""
Me.TxtPhn.Value = ""

'close window and return to product window

FrmProduct.Show

End Sub

On Error GoTo ender

Exit Sub

ender:

End Sub

Private Sub BtnNext_Click()
