Hi and welcome to the forum.

Is the dropdown created using data validation or is it a combobox created from the forms toolbar or an activeX combobox?

It would really help if you could post your file or a sample of it without any personal info so we can see what you are doing....some comments in the example would help too.

hit the post reply button at the bottom left of the last post and then when you have typed in your message scroll down and look for a button that says "manage attachments"

hello thanks for the reply...i created the dropdown from the forms toolbar ...if you open my file at the bottom part of sales sheet (sales more information)....i am saving dropdown values from this sheet to transaction sheet when click save transaction.

now what i am trying to do is bringing back what has been saved in transaction sheet in sales sheet if user's click Transaction Level combo box in sales sheet.

you know sales sheet is the input page while transaction sheet is the database

Please help me...

hello?

Please describe precisely what you are expecting to happen. What macro are you running, where is the data saved, what column do you want returned as the updated dropdown, which dropdown are you referring to (there are 6), where does the data come from - column/sheet and so on.
