Tom, thank you...that did the trick.

One other question. When I changed all my combo boxes (65 of them) from the
Form combo boxes to the comb boxes in the Controls Toolbox, I noticed my
spreadsheet went from 600K to just under 1MB. Why the increase in size?

Tom, to do this, I had to change all my combo boxes from using Forms
toolbox
to the Control Toolbox. Now that I have changed all my combo boxes to the
Control Toolbox combo box, I need to know how I can prevent a user from
typing in the combo box. What property prevents them from doing this? I
have the "ListFillRange" property set to the range in my worksheet that I
want to populate my combo box, but when the user clicks on the combo box,
they can type in the combo box, which is not what I want to happen.

I wouldn't worry about the Subject.

Use a combobox from the Control Toolbox Toolbar rather than the forms
toolbar. This Contro Toolbox Toolbar Combobox has a dropdown method.

Oops...the subject line should have read "Combo Box DropDown method".
I
clicked the Post button before I changed the subject. Is there a way
I
can
get this subject line changed?
