multiple selection in combo box
Hello,
I'd like to use a combo box or drop-down list for selecting from a list. However, I need to be able to select multiple items from the list. Is there a way to set this up (e.g. hold the ctrl key and select)? thank you Jen |

How about using a listbox from the control toolbox toolbar and a commandbutton
from that same toolbar. Then you can use code like this to retrieve the selected items from the listbox: Option Explicit Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim iCtr As Long Dim DestCell As Range Set DestCell = Me.Range("a2") With Me.ListBox1 DestCell.Resize(.ListCount).ClearContents For iCtr = 0 To .ListCount - 1 If .Selected(iCtr) Then DestCell.Value = .List(iCtr) Set DestCell = DestCell.Offset(1, 0) End If Next iCtr End With End Sub Double click on the commandbutton and you'll see where this code goes.

Debra Dalgleish has a sample workbook with a combo-box that allows multiple
selections. DV0017 - Select Multiple Items from Dropdown List-- Select multiple items from a dropdown list; an event macro stores selections in adjacent cell, or in same cell. http://www.contextures.on.ca/excelfiles.html#DataVal Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 19 Jan 2007 12:15:26 -0800, jen_writer wrote: Hello, I'd like to use a combo box or drop-down list for selecting from a list.
