Do you have that combobox linked to a cell?

If yes, drop the link. It looks like you're using code to populate the cell
anyway.

Hi,

I'm sure there is a very simple answer to the following problem but
unfortunately I can't see the wood for the trees!

In creating an activex combobox to add text into a cell by selecting it from
a list in the combobox I have encountered a problem. Adding the text is ok
but I cannot now delete the text in the cell (by using the delete key) and if
I select another cell anywhere else on the screen and press the delete key
then it inserts the text into the newly selected cell.

I have got the following code in the combobox:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
ActiveCell.Value = ComboBox1.Value
End Sub

Also there is not a problem when i am in design mode, it appears that
somehow pressing delete activates the combobox but i have no idea how. I'm
using Excel 2002.

This is a very frustrating problem so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advence.
