Default Drop Down Box

Greetings,
I have an Excel doc with drop down boxes from the control toolbox. I was
able to affect the properties of these boxes by right clicking on them and
going ino the dialogue box for formatting the controls.
Now when I try to do it, it doesn't give me the right click menu. Is there
some method in Excel to reactivate the right click menu on these controls?
Perhaps some sort of template mode? Thank you.
Rod

You can try this:
Press Alt+F11
Press Ctrl+G
Type this into the pane that appears at the bottom of the Window and press
Enter:
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True

Disregard my previous post--that's not going to work.

What you may check for is whether or not yp are in Design Mode.
Bring up the Control Toolbox and click on the Design Mode button, if it's
not activated. It's usually first on the toolbar.
