Hey all
I'm new to vba and I'm trying to get this code to work.

Task:
1. User selects a entry in the CC dropdownlist.
2. If the same value exist in the file c:\test.xls column A, then return the Column B value in the same raw.
3. Use the returned value in the CC dropdownlist (or in a new CC textbox)

I hope someone can be kind enough, to come up with a proposal to complete this code.

thank you
