I assume you are using data|validation to get the drop down list. One of the
tabs of the validation wizard (used to create the validation) is Error Alert.
There is a check box on this tab "Show error alert when invalid data is
entered". Just uncheck the box and you are good to go...

Is there a way to make a cell be a drop down list, but also have the user
enter anything they want in the cell. So they can either choose from the
list or enter a value not in the list.

Thanks,
