Hi KUMPFfrog,

Yes, it is possible.

If you use an Active X combo box (control tools, not form tools). Go to the
properties of the box. If the info you want to display is in say, a1:a10, and
the info you want to code is in b1:b10, in the listfill range put a1:b10. In
BoundColumn put 2 for the 2nd column. You will see the info in A in the drop
down list, and the info in the B column will appear in your linked cell.

I would like to have a drop down that displays one thing, but when an item
is selected from the list - it returns an assigned value. Ex: I have a
named range list on a separate tab with 2 columns - col A is the selectable
text (which is a more detailed description) I want to see in the drop down
list, and in col B is the code value that I want returned.

If this is doable . . . is there a way have a note or screen tip pop up
(showing the more detailed description from col A) when your cursor hovers
over the selected code value. ie; Like you can set up when you insert a
hyperlink.

hope that makes sense
