I have a Combo Box on a User Form with a dynamic items list (gathers the item list from a spreadsheet based on active cell value when the user form activates). How can I make it so that the user must choose one of the options from the Combo Box (no manual typed entry)? IF manual typed entry must be allowed, how can I display a custom error message if the user entered a value that doesn't match the possible options from the items list?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Set the match entry property of the combo to 1-fmMatchEntryComplete
