That was easy! Thank you for your help.
Since I needed the "destination spreadsheet" to update any changes made to the "source spreadsheet", I used the Paste Link option which works fine now. Is there any way to get rid of the zeros in the cells that data hasn't been entered in? Can I do it by code? "Bill Manville" wrote: I have been on vacation so only just had time to read your message. All you can link using paste link is one cell to another. So, the way to achieve what you want is to have the combo box on the source sheet linked to a cell, say Z99, on the source sheet by setting its LinkedCell property. Z99 will contain the value in the combobox if it is a Control Toolbox combo or the ListIndex of the item selected from the list if it is a Forms toolbar combobox. Then on the destination sheet you have a similar combo box linked to a cell, say Y88. And you copy Z99 from the source sheet and paste link it into Y88 on the destination sheet. Then the destination combo should show the same as the source combo. However, you would not be able to change the value of the destination sheet's combo without overwriting the formula in the linked cell - if you don't need the combo on the destination sheet to allow selection of a different item then you should disable it.
