    Here's what I've added to your code

    Code:
    Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
    
        ComboBox2.Enabled = ComboBox1.Text <> ""
        
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub ComboBox2_Change()
    
        ComboBox3.Enabled = ComboBox2.Text <> ""
    
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub ComboBox3_Change()
    
        Dim lngCol As Long
        With Worksheets("sample")
            lngCol = .Rows(2).Find(What:=Me.ComboBox3.Text, lookAt:=xlWhole).Column
            Me.ComboBox4.List = .Range("A4:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, lngCol).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(, lngCol - 1).Value2
            Me.ComboBox5.List = .Range("A4:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, lngCol + 1).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(, lngCol).Value2
            Me.ComboBox6.List = .Range("A4:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, lngCol + 2).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(, lngCol + 1).Value2
            Me.ComboBox7.List = .Range("A4:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, lngCol).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(, lngCol - 1).Value2
            Me.ComboBox8.List = .Range("A4:A" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, lngCol + 1).End(xlUp).Row).Offset(, lngCol).Value2
        End With
        Frame1.Enabled = UCase(ComboBox3.Text) = "INTERNAL"
        Frame2.Enabled = Not Frame1.Enabled
        ComboBox4.Text = ""
        ComboBox5.Text = ""
        ComboBox6.Text = ""
        ComboBox7.Text = ""
        ComboBox8.Text = ""
        
    End Sub
    In addition, I've also changed the style of your drop-down box to List-box instead of Combo-box. That way, user cannot 'type' anything that is not there in the list. In addition, I've also changed the Enabled property to false, and based on selection of value in the hierarchical order, the combo-boxes will get enabled.

    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve
