Default Drop Down Menu

Hi,

Hope someone can help, I am creating a drop down using the Data/Validation
option, which allows me to enter a list to choose for my drop down, but what
I would like to do, is if what I want is not in the drop down, be allowed to
type it in, is this possible.

Thanks

Default Drop Down Menu

Hi,

Yes, under the "Error Alert" tab uncheck the "Show error alert after invalid
data is entered"
