auto fill or auto search from a list or drop-down list???????
probably really late now joe but would it not be easier to write the
companies names in a1:a99 then hide them then when you type in (say a100).
after typing the first letter or two you could press enter, the company you
wanted should fill in the space

I am creating a quote sheet in excel that will need to be filled out quickly
while on the phone with my customers. There is basic info that will be needed
for each quote. The first thing will be the customer name. What would be the
best way to set up a cell to auto select from a list? Lets say John Does
Lumber Yard calls, is there a way I can start tying J and be able to select
John Does Lumber Yard from a list and have it auto fill the cell? I have it
set up right now with a drop down list but it takes just as long to search
threw all my customers in the drop down list than it would to just type it
in. I was thinking if I had a drop down list I could click on the carrot and
type J and the list would automatically scroll to the customers beginning
with J but this is not the case. I have to manually scroll down and find
the customer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
