How do I find out what a user selected from a combo list. For example, if the
combo box list is A, B or C and they select B is there a way for me to
determine that in a macro.
Thanks!

There are two types of combo boxes. For what you wnat to do i would recomend
getting the combo box from the controls toolbox (not the forms toolbar). When
you add this to a sheet it becomes embedded in the sheet. Right click on the
combobox and select properties. Give the combobox a descriptive name (like
cbxLetters).
Now in the code you can refer to it with
Sheet1.cbxLetters.Value
(Assuming the combo box is in sheet1)

I may have taken on more then I can handle but this is really what I am
trying to do.
I have a spreadsheet that has active filters being used. I am trying to make
a user form such that each combox is actually one of the possible choices in
each of the filters.
For example Column A has a choice of Jan. or Feb.
Column B is Spring Summer Winter or Fall
my user form has two combo boxes...one is Jan/Feb the other is
Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall
so when a use selects Jan spring the spreadsheet will filter that infor.
I already have the macro that filters etc....
So I thought if I could create the form and then read the choices all my
user ever needs to see is the form and the results.
