Command button on data-entry form
Is there a way to add a command button to a form that displays data for
reference? I'd like the user of the form I'm creating to choose a chemical abbreviation from a dropdown but be able to click a button and display a table containing the full chemical name and unit. Or else have a dropdown with three columns? It's easy to do in Access, but I can't seem to figure out how to do either of these things in Excel.) |

It might be easiest to use a range of 2 columns (why 3???).
Then you can make your combobox have multiple columns--including both the abbreviation and long name. With your combobox selected (while you're designing the form), hit F4 to see its properties. ..ColumnCount = 2 (or 3???) ..RowSource = Sheet1!a1:B9 (say) Susy wrote: Is there a way to add a command button to a form that displays data for reference?
