Hello
my combobox has 2 column counts and its items are added
When i am clicking on the same it shows the values of 1st item. i dont understand why ?
and not changing the value of idx as shown below
infact clicking on each item should display in combobox text

Code:
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()

      Dim idx As Long
      idx = ComboBox1.ListIndex

          If idx <> -1 Then
              ComboBox1.Text = Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 0) & "     " & Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 1)
          End If
End Sub

Try this code by itself !!

Code:
Private [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] ComboBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Integer)
Static idx [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Navy"]Select[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Case[/COLOR] KeyCode
    Case 38 '[COLOR="Green"][B]up arrow key[/B][/COLOR]
        idx = idx - IIf(idx = 0, 0, 1)
        KeyCode = 0
    Case 40 '[COLOR="Green"][B]down arrow key[/B][/COLOR]
        idx = idx + IIf(idx < ComboBox1.ListCount, 1, 0)
        KeyCode = 0
    [COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] Select
[COLOR="Navy"]If[/COLOR] idx > 0 [COLOR="Navy"]Then[/COLOR]
    ComboBox1.Text = Me.ComboBox1.List(idx - 1, 0) & "     " & Me.ComboBox1.List(idx - 1, 1)
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] If
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Thanks
FYI Some of the changes i did inorder to have smoother combobox functioning
Observations with below changes in code
Observations
1. Clicking on combobox Arrow DropDown shows
from DropDown Selecting item for eg DataA5 DataB5 -----> Bascially clicked on this item
Now when Pressing UpArrow Key on selected DataA5 Data B5 the Record jumps of to DataA3 DataB3 surprising instead of going on DataA4 DataB4
and then Pressing down Arrow on DataA3 DataB3 respectively shows DataA4 DataB4 and so on

2. from DropDown Selecting item for eg DataA5 DataB5 -----> Bascially clicked on this item
Pressing Twice down Arrow respectively shows DataA6 DataB6 and this is not on one go

These are all the sub-routines on userform
Code:
Option Explicit
Public idx As Long
Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
'''Dim idx As Long
      idx = ComboBox1.ListIndex
          If idx <> -1 Then
              ComboBox1.Text = Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 0) & "     " & Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 1)
          End If
End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
'''Static idx As Long
Select Case KeyCode
    Case 38 'up arrow key
        idx = idx - IIf(idx = 0, 0, 1)
        KeyCode = 0
    Case 40 'down arrow key
        idx = idx + IIf(idx < ComboBox1.ListCount, 1, 0)
        KeyCode = 0
    End Select
If idx > 0 Then
    ComboBox1.Text = Me.ComboBox1.List(idx - 1, 0) & "     " & Me.ComboBox1.List(idx - 1, 1)
End If
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'''Dim idx As Long
idx = 0 
ComboBox1.Text = Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 0) & "     " & Me.ComboBox1.List(idx, 1)
End Sub

Ref:-
Be Careful ! Parts of your documents may include personal information that can't be removed by document inspector
Try:-
Go to File in the upper left hand corner, then Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Document Inspector and un-check the check box that says "Document Properties and Personal Information", then hit OK. Hope that helps.

Regards Mick
