Drop down choice sends text to another cell

Guest

I would like a drop down selection (City) to automatically input a
predetermined street address into another cell (different street based on the
city selected). I think it's a macro associated with the change event of the
drop down. I can do vba but I need a suggestion as to what the vba would do.
Thanks for any help.

You can use VBA for this, but there is little adantage. The VBA would need a
lookup table to get the street address anyway.

Just create a lookup table on the worksheet and use the VLOOKUP() function
to return the correct street address based upon the dropdown cell.

The combo box with the city is currently an active x control that is not near
the cell with the street address. I've only done vlookup when everything was
"connected"--the matching item and lookup value. These cells are currently
not next to each other. My two questions now are:

Do I need to convert the active x control to a look up list (so it's
actually in a cell)? AND
Do I have to redesign my spreadsheet so the cells are next to each other?
