 If (Not Mid(sCode, 1, 2) = ddlLevelID1) Then
     ddlLevelID1 = Mid(sCode, 1, 2) 'force change/force AFTER_UPDATE event to run. 
 End If

    Assuming ddlLevelID1 is the ComboBox:

    ddlLevelID1.value = foo

    will change the value. I do not believe you can link a value displayed in a ComboBox to a variable value without pushing changes up to the userform after the value is changed.

    Regarding the AfterUpdate method, from msdn:

    Changing data in a control by using Visual Basic or a macro containing
    the SetValue action doesn’t trigger these events for the control.
    However, if you then move to another record or save the record, the
    form’s AfterUpdate event does occur.
