Default Vlookup based on Combobox in a Userform

I want to be able to select a department from the drop down list in a
combobox ("Department"), which will then reduce the list in the second combo
box ("Name"). Then, when an employee name has been selected, lookup the email
address in the spreadsheet, and automatically enter it into a text box
("Email").
I'm not sure how to implement the dependant combo box. I did try the vlookup
in the email box, but it shows the error: "Unable to get the VLookup property
of the WorksheetFunction class."

Here is what I have so far:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim cEmployee As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("ValidationData")

txtSubject.Value = ""
txtDueDate.Value = ""
chkReminder = False
txtReminderTime.Value = ""

For Each cEmployee In ws.Range("Employee")
With Me.cboEmployee
.AddItem cEmployee.Value
.List(.ListCount - 1, 1) = cEmployee.Offset(0, 1).Value
End With
Next cEmployee
cboEmployee.Value = ""
txtEmail.Value = WorksheetFunction.VLookup(cboEmployee,
Range("Email"), 2, False)
txtNotes.Value = ""
txtSubject.SetFocus
End Sub

If I comment out the vlookup function, the whole thing works, I just have to
enter emails manually. If I change cboEmployee.Value = "A Brooks", it works,
and picks up the email address. However, if (using the form) I select another
name, it sticks with . How can I get it to calculate
when I select a name? Also, how to make the second combobox dependant?

Thanks in advance!
