In VBA you would use something like

ComboBox1.ListFillRange = "'[Excel-A.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$10"

replacing $A$1:$A$10 with an appropriate range and Sheet1 with the name of the worksheet containing the data you need. Note that ListFillRange can also be set on the properties for the control

The spreadsheet will need to be open ...

Application.Workbooks.Open ("c:\Excel-A.xls")
