Thanks, but no it is checked. Weird I have got round it by copying the sheet
contents into a new sheet, but then ad to re-do the linkages which was what I
was trying to avoid. In my workbook I have 15 sheets with dropdowns, all
sheets are fine excpet this one. I presume it is a page format issue, but I
cannot see any difference between the sheets

The format of the sheet appears the same as the others, any ideas please.
