Yes i did and that wasn't the original post .. the original post was that she
wanted the drop down box to be visible .. not just when she clicked on the
cell she was on. The combo box was an answer to it then someone asked about
the combo box.

OMG is everyone kidding? all you have to do is click on the cell you want
to
have the drop down box arrow appear then go to DATA on the menu toolbar
and
click FILTER then Click AUTO FILTER thats it. also make sure u highlight
the
information you want to appear in the drop down menu.

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.
