Can anyone give me some pointers on how to read the selection from a CboBox directly after a user makes the
selection?

or...

what event is fired off when a user makes a selection?

cmbbox_Click is fired.
cmbbox.text has text selected
cmbbox.listindex has the index (0 to cmbbox.ubound) of the selected item.
listindex could be -1 if ESC was pressed.
Code: 
Private cmbbox_click Sub
if cmbbox.listindex = -1 then
    strSelected = cmbbox.text
    ....empty
else 
    strSelected = cmbbox.text
end if
end sub
