Default Using Combo boxes in excel

Create a combo box via the controls toolbar and then right
click in design mode on the combo box and select
properties. The ListFill Range and LinkedCell fields
should than sort you out.

Best regards

Hi ,
I am trying to add combo boxes to an excel spreadsheet

and
although I have had success in creating the combo box (
using the forms toolbar )and referencing the correct data
I do still have a problem.
When I create a combo box on a form in Access I can type
characters into it and it will automatically jump to the
relevant data as I type.
I cannot seem to emulate this in excel as I cannot even
type into the combo box.
I have tried using a combo box from the control toolbox
but I can't work out how to reference the data ( I

presume
I do this with code ).
Can anybody help ?

Thanks in advance
.
