I'm using Office 2000, and I've created 2 list boxes in a ss. The 2nd box
presents a different data list based on the result of box 1, using Data Validation. Box 2 looks at the result of box 1 using: =indirect(b2). This works fine. But, a List Box loses the scroll arrow when cell is not active, so it is not immediately clear that there are other possible selections. A Combo Box nicely shows the scroll arrow, which is what I would like. Problem So I tried combo boxes, putting =indirect() in combo box2, pointing back to the value combo box1 puts in the link cell. But I get a popup saying the reference is not valid. Then I tried to use a List box following combo box1, but it does not recognize the value combo box1 puts in the link cell. So, am I stuck using 2 list boxes? Is there any way to use combo boxes to do this w/o vba code? Alex |
