Data Validation dropdowns don't support this. You need control toolbox
comboboxes for this type of functionality.

Hi, Im new. Ive used exel a fair amount but have thus far not taken

too
much
time to learn VB.

Im using combo Boxes to look up data and return values to certain

cells,
however I am currenly utilising The validation list-combo method,

which
works
very well.

My question is as follows, I am unable to type in the first few

characters
of the item for the item to be shortlisted and then select it, I

have to
scroll in order tp find the item I am looking for.

How do I make a combo work using VB, I see this being the only way

using
a
Combination drop down edit - Please help
