Listbox Values
 

I have created a listbox with the days of the week in Excel 2003, however,
when I click on say Tuesday I get the number 2 as opposed to the word
Tuesday. Is there any way for me to set it so that it displays my selection
rather than its position in the list? I'm using the Forms Toolbar and not
Data Validation.

Use the listbox from the control toolbox instead.
It'll do just that.

After you draw it (ie a listbox) out on the sheet,
right-click on it Properties,
then set ListFillRange & LinkedCell, eg:
ListFillRange: A1:A7 (assume that's where you have: Mon, Tues, etc)
LinkedCell: B1
Click "Exit Design Mode", try it out

(ListFillRange & LinkedCell are equivalent to "Input range" & "Cell link")
