Have you defined the .ControlSource property for the combobox? I believe if
you only define the ListFillRange and do not define the ControlSource, your
list value will get reset every time you reinitialize the control (i.e.
reopen the form or workbook/sheet).
But I like to have better control, so I avoid using ListFillRange and just
use the .AddItem or .List() to populate either Combobox or Listbox controls,
then define the ControlSource property where I want to save for next time if
I want to retrieve a previously selected value from the list.
