I am trying to set up a combo drop down where the first box would be the part description, second part would be the realted cost...
How do I do that?

As I interpreted your quesiton, you need a dropdown box that will include both the part number and the cost. if this is the case, is it possible for you to add a column in your source worksheet with a concatenation of the two columns (part and cost), possibly separated by a space if needs be? For example, if the part number was in column A, and the cost was in column B, add a column to your spreadsheet with the formula :

=CONCATENATE(A1," ",B1)

and copy down. Name this new column range (ex. New_Range), and put the name into the RowSource of your combo box.

See if this helps. If not, let me know.

Hi clueless,

You could also make your dropdown display the two columns by setting the ColumnCount property to 2 and setting the RowSource range to include both columns.
