list box coding question

[chanchito_cojones]

Hi there,

I have a quick question regarding populating a list or combo box based on
certain criteria from another combo box. (if this is at all possible with
excel..hehe). What I am looking for is the following:

On one sheet I have a combo box. On the same sheet I would like to have
another list or combo that populates itself with specific Cells from another
sheet. The tricky part is how would i get the criteria aspect working? I
figure it will have to be with VBA code, but even then how? If the first
combo box has the word Clients, then the second combo box would only show
the list of Client names (located on a different sheet within the same
workbook).

Any help, or at least a point in the right direction, is most appreciated.

cheers
