    Make lists in Combobox (userform) depend on each other

    Hi,

    I have constructed a user form with a set of comboboxes containing a number of choices. However, the different alternatives depend on each other, and instead of having all the choices available in the second combobox I would like to only have the "correct" ones depending on the choice made in the earlier combobox.

    For example;
    ---------------
    A-B-C
    Car-Blue-USA
    Car-Red-USA
    Truck-Green-Sweden
    Truck-Blue-Sweden

    If I choose Car in the first combobox, I would like to only have the choices [Blue, Red] available in the second combobox, not the full set of data [Blue,Red,Green] and so on.

    However, I have two problems construction this;

    1) If I make the rowsource A1-A4 for the first combobox, I get the alternative [Car,Car,Truck,Truck], not [Car,Truck]. It is possible to come around this problem by making a unique list in addition to the linked list showed above, such as;

    A-B-C
    Car-Blue-Usa
    Truck-Red-Sweden
    -Green-

    2) To make the comboboxes depend on each other, and alternate the available choices according to the choice made in an earlier combobox.

    I have attached an example of a userform and list, and where I am at the moment.
    Combobox1-button, problem1 and problem 2
    Combobox2-button, only problem2

    It's hard to follow exactly what you want. Maybe this earlier example will help, it will need some slight adapting for your use
    Hope that helps.

    Thank you for the reply Roy!

    The link seems to be wrong, it is referring me to a service for sending big files.
