Combo Box

I have a combo box on a form that looks up values from a sheet. What I need to setup is a label that when the user selects an entry from the combo box a corresponding cell entry is placed in the label. i.e. if the user selects the first name which originates in cell A1 on sheet 'client details' then the contents of cell B1 from 'client details' would be returned to the label.
I know how to get the label to look up details from a sheet but I don't know how to make it dependent on a combo box entry or if it is possible.

Thanks in advance

One way to do this given your info
ie. A1 start B1 details and label = Label1
is;

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Label1.Caption = Cells(ComboBox1.ListIndex + 1, 2)
End Sub

Thanks Ivan
Your code worked but how do I get it to take the values from the "Client Details" Sheet?
