Default Need step by step for entering data into combobox

Put in combo box from the control tool tool bar so that I could format the
combobox to move with the cell but now I dont know how to put the data back
into the drop down do I need to implement a macro for this? or is there
another way? Need step by step as to how to get this going

Thanks
Mandy

Where do you get the data to put into the combobox?

If it's from a worksheet, you can show that control toolbox toolbar and click on
the design mode icon.

Then rightclick on the combobox and choose Properties.
Then look for:
Listfillrange
Type in your range to use: 'sheet 2'!a1:a99

You may want to use a linked cell, too. Type that address into the LinkedCell
property.

And scroll down to Style. If you want to stop the user from typing a different
value into that combobox, choose 2-fmstyeldropdownlist

And you may want to look at matchrequired, too. It might make data|entry a bit
easier.

After you've changed all these things, click on that design mode icon to get
back to "normal".
