Thank you very much chip.
I see I still have quite a bit to learn. I also hope that I remember this
bit of info.

Are you using the listbox control from the Forms command bar or
the Controls command bar. Despite the same name, the controls are
quiet different.

I'm trying to incorporate either a list box or a combo box into
a spreadsheet.
(My source is How to Programmatically Insert Data from a List
Box into the
Active Cell at
http://support.microsoft.com/default...n-us%3BQ213363 )
One of the instructions is to right click on the list box and
go to the
Format Control menu. The problem I have at this point is that
there is no
"Control" tab in the dialog box. Is that because the
instructions are for
Excel 2000 and I'm working in Excel 2003 where the control is
no longer
handled the same way?
