Default How do you select multiple characters in a drop down list to appe.

How do you select multiple characters in a drop down list to appear in one
cell? Mainly, displaying multiple values or words after selecting more than
one choice from the drop down box so they can be displayed in the one cell
that the drop down box is located in.

from a dropdown list; an event macro stores selections in adjacent cell, or
in same cell. DataValMultiSelect.zip 18kb updated 22-Feb-07
