Okay,

I am stumped here.

I have a data validation drop down as a list format. *Since the list
is over 5000 unique entries, I want to be able to start typing the
value and have it start to go there. *However, whenever I start to
type the value, it won't let me. *I have another list validation on
the same file that does this and cannot figure it out.

Any ideas?

Pete, is there another way to do this? Because then I need to
reference what is in that cell - similar to a vlookup situation and
don't want to get in to the VB, though I could do it that way - just
wanted to know if it was easier...
