Help with the following code??

[Guest]

I have a userform with a series of textboxes and one combobox set to dropdown
a list of the 50 states. That works just fine, however I would like it to
when the user selects say Alabama from the dropdown and clicks the 'ADD"
button the value entered in to the database to be its abbriviation 'AL' not
the full name. Now I have used this code within my database column but I
would like it to apply to the combobox and I am not sure how to do it?

If Target.Cells.Count> 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 5 Then
If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Worksheets("Lists").Range("A1") _
.Offset(Application.WorksheetFunction _
.Match(Target.Value, Worksheets("Lists").Range("StateName"), 0), 0)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

I'm not clear. How did you use it in your database column?

Also, what is the code of the combo box _change event?

I atteched it directly to my worksheet and it worked in conjuction with a
data validation within the column.

That is my question I basiclly want a change event code that will copy the
state abbreviation to the database when the user selects the full state name.

Did you attach a combo box to your worksheet?
Which excel version are you using?
