    If a user chooses one of the name, Cells B3:E5 of that worksheet will automatically be copied to Cells C3:F5 of the main worksheet.

    Your code to populate the combobox looks a bit over complicated.

    Assuming you have the worksheet names loaded something like

    Thank you Roy for your help! However, when I put your code in and pick a worksheet name, Excel gives me a "Subscript out of Range" Error and highlights the 2nd last line.

    I was just leaving from work & copied your code without noticing your ranges are wrong, replace cells with range

    I can't find the code that I gave you.

    Your existing code could do with some major tidying up e.g. you don't need to select or activate the ranges you could populate the comboboxes with a loop eliminating the code for individual comboboxes
