I have 2 combo box and i want to change the input range of the second combo box with refrence to the value in first combo box.

For example

combo box 1 - "animals", "flowers"
combo box 2 - "dog", "cat", "lion", "rose", "lily", "lotus"

if i select "animals" in combo box 1 then combo box 2 should list only "dog", "cat", "lion"

if i select "flowers" in combo box 1 then combo box 2 should list only "rose", "lily", "lotus"

Please help
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
try
Code:
[FONT=Courier New]If ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Value = "Flower" Then[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]ActiveSheet.ComboBox2.ListFillRange = Range("B1:B10") ' flower range[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]ElseIf ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Value = "Fruits" Then[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]ActiveSheet.ComboBox2.ListFillRange = Range("A1:A10") 'fruits range[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]Else[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]End If[/FONT]
