Hi!

Try putting a Textbox control on the sheet and aim to show your chose
text there in the form of the textbox's text.
Try a small experiment:
Add the textbox and amend its Properties so that Linked Cell ia A1.
Enter a message in A1: read it in the box.

Whatever you get from the combobox input will enable you to do
vlookup in A1 using a vertical lookup table with your combobox items i
one column and your text messages in the next.

Schematically: put =Vlookup(<combobox value>, <lookup table, 2,False
in A1.

You might also think of combining the combobox listfill rangewith th
identical thing in the lookup table.
