I have a work sheet with a combo box. The ListFillRange is a 2 column array. In column 1 is a list of Report Names. Column 2 contains the data source for the Report. In the Properties for my ComboBox, I have Bound column set to 2 and Column Count set to 1, as I need the data source put into the Linked Cell when the user selects the Report Name from the Combo Box.

The issue, I believe is that many reports in Column 1 can use the same Data Source in Column 2, so there are multiple entries of the same type. For Example:

Report Name Data Source
Report 1. . . Cube 1
Report 2. . . Cube 2
Report 3. . . Cube 1
Report 4. . . Cube 2
Report 5. . . Cube 3
Report 6. . . Cube 1

When The user selects Report 3 from the Combo Box, the "Value" property should be 'Cube 1' and the "Text" property should be 'Report 3', and it is until you try to print (or print preview) the worksheet. For some reason, the "Text" property value is changing to the first occurance of the "Value" property value. So in this example, the worksheet would print with "Report 1" showing up int he Combo Box.

Any ideas how I get around this and keep the Report Name the user selects in the Combo Box when the sheet is printed?

I appreciate any help!
