The list was created using Validation, however when I click on the cell where
the drop down list should appear, nothing. It doesn't give the drop down
list.

Do you have the In-Cell Dropdown checkbox, checked?

Yes it is. All seems to be ok, however I'm just not seeing the drop down box.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the same problem in Excel 2007.
The 'In-cell dropdown' option is checked, and 'For objects-show all' is
checked (in Office Button-Excel options-Advanced-Display options for this
workbook). I can see the dropdown lists on one worksheet but not on another,
so it must be something cell or worksheet specific, rather than a setting for
the whole workbook. (?)

Hi,
Thanks for the link. It wasn't any of those, but on a whim I just copied
everything to a new worksheet, and now it all works fine! I tried copying
back to the original worksheet, and still no list. Very odd, but I'm not
going to loose any sleep trying to figure it out... its all good now.
