Hi Sparrot,

Why not add a comment to the appropriate cells and show the comment. Or you
could format the cells with a different color file or a border, then teach
your users what those formats mean. You could even conditional format the
cells to have a color until the user picks an entry from them.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

I am not sure what you mean by "Put the range with your list in the
listfillrange and the cell you want to link to" I got to that part and
am stumped.
Thanks

Office button Excel Options, make sure "Show Developer Tab" is
selected.
Click the Developer tab Controls Insert Combobox from the active x
controls,
right click the drop down and select properties, in that pane that
opens.
Put the range with your list in the
listfillrange and the cell you want to link to. Click the design mode
button
to get out
of design mode

I have created several Drop Down boxes in a worksheet but I want to
make
them
visible so people know there is a drop down box there. Right now
the
arrow
doesn't show until you click on that cell. Please help I am not
quite
sure
how to format it so the drop down arrow stays.
