Hell Robin,
thanks for the info, but I'm not using in a form. I
created a macro to put the drop box on a sheet. Here's the
macro portion:

ActiveSheet.DropDowns.Add(111, 23.25, 75, 15.75).Select
With Selection
.Placement = xlFreeFloating
.PrintObject = True
End With
With Selection
.ListFillRange = "Sheet1!$P$2:$P$13"
.LinkedCell = "$D$1"
.DropDownLines = 8
.Display3DShading = False
End With

What I want is to default it to let say Cell P2 from my
list range.

Please advise.
Thank u for your time.

Juan

Juan,

set the listindex property, or less reliably, set the
value property of the
combobox. e.g. if the combo is on a form:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim lCount As Long
With ComboBox1
For lCount = 0 To 99
.AddItem lCount
Next lCount
.ListIndex = 0
'or not as reliable
'.Value = 99
End With
End Sub

Hello,
I have a drop down box. Can I default it to a value? I
have a macro and I have added a drop box, but would like
it to default to a value. Right now, it leaves it blank.

Please advise any feedback.

Thanks,

Juan
