Multi-select from drop down list in Excel 97
Hi
I am using the following code to enable multi select from drop down lists in XL2003, but have a group of users requiring this feature in XL97... Public InActivity As Boolean Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If InActivity Then Exit Sub InActivity = True On Error GoTo NonValidatedCell If Selection.Validation.Type = xlValidateList Then ColAbs = Target.Column If ColAbs < 3 Then GoTo NonValidatedCell RowAbs = Target.Row If Sheets("Recreation_Activity").Cells(RowAbs, ColAbs).Value = "Delete Contents" Then TotalString = "" Else Application.Undo TotalString = Sheets("Recreation_Activity").Cells(RowAbs, ColAbs).Value & ", " Application.Undo TotalString = TotalString & Sheets("Recreation_Activity").Cells(RowAbs, ColAbs).Value End If If Left(TotalString, 1) = "," Then TotalString = Mid(TotalString, 3) Sheets("Recreation_Activity").Cells(RowAbs, ColAbs).Value = TotalString End If InActivity = False Exit Sub NonValidatedCell: InActivity = False End Sub The spreadsheet opens in XL97 without error but you can only select one item from the list... Selecting a second item just overwrites the first.. Any suggestions?????? |
