dropdown is for the user to select an item, but that clearly isn't required.
You don't say clearly what it is you intend

Sub combodrop()
With ActiveSheet.ComboBox1
.Visible = True
.AddItem "hello"
.ListIndex = .ListCount - 1
.Visible = False
End With

End Sub

Sorry, as I have asked this question before, but can no one help me?
Having tried everything i can think of, i'm realy frustrated now.

In my code i use .dropdown (dot dropdown) , but then i wish the dropdown
list to 'close' once an item in the list has been selected.
This behaves as expected if combobox is activated by a mouse click, but if
.dropdown is used the dropdown list does not close.

I realy need a work around or something as my code relies heavily on this
process.

Please help - using excel 2000

Sub combodrop()
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Visible = True
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "TEST"
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.DropDown
ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Visible = False
End Sub
