Default Checkboxes within a list

Vacuum Sealed was thinking very hard :

I have a list that I created through Data Validation. However, in the

there way to include checkboxes in my data validation list? Or, better
yet, is there a smarter, easier way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Neel.

DV can't be used in this fashion, it is more like a Combobox, so to speak.

I think what you are after is a Listbox which can be created using Xl2010 -
Developer | Insert | Form Controls

As for coding it, I can't help you with that part as it goes beyond my level
of experience and I'm not 100% sure if it is Multi-Select capable although
one of the other many guru contributors many help shed some more light on it
for you.

Mick,
Both ComboBox and ListBox controls can bet set to MultiSelect, and can
display checkboxes. The issue I see here is how will the OP handle the
selections?
