Hi,
Is the difference between comboboxes and listboxes only in their display and
in reality both work in the same way?

No, comboboxes are editable, listboxes are not. The display can be made the
same with property settings.
 
And you could select multiple items in a listbox if you set it up that way.
 
Thanks for the replies, I am designing a userform that has to display
specific lists for the user to select from. Once a choice is made from the
first list the second list will be filtered, for example user selects apples
and gets a choice of green or red, if they choose banana they get a choice
of yellow or green. I though it best to use combo boxes but perhaps list
boxes would be the way forward. I would appreciate your thoughts on this..

If that list is small and can be seen without scrolling, I think (today anyway)
that a listbox is easier to use. (But that could change depending on the
userform, too (footprint space??).)
