Default Excel Combo box & Autonumbering

Hi Alex!

Thank you for your help. These 2 are actually different files, so I wouldn't
be using them simultaneously. The problem with Data Validation is that I have
about 2000 items in my data base -- these will increase almost weekly, thus
using Data Validation hasn't been working for me at the moment, as I still
have to look through many items to choose from them.

Is there any other way to apply the "find as you type" property to the drop
down menu?

I used the code you sent for the counter, and it worked wonderfully,

Thank you!

I would rather use the validation from the data menu in Microsoft Excel
which allows you to create a combo-box rather to create a combo with VBA. If
you have a lot of code written which filters automatically the entries this
will be very slow. Better it is to sort the data for the combo-box and if
you type it will jump automatically to the letter but you still have all
entries in the combo-box. Try first with the validation from the Data menu
and if this is not enough please answer.

#2
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Range("A1").Value = Range("A1").Value + 1
End Sub

You can change the cell "A1" to any desired cell.

Kind regards,
