Usability - drop down box - Arrow INSIDE box?
I can create the drop down list -- but the user must "know" to click in the
cell before the arrow for the drop down appears... How can I 1) have the default display "click to displya CCC list, or List of XXX" 2) How can I have the drop down arrow appear on the default?? It is too hard for unfamiliar users to know to click in the field/cell, then the drop down arrow appears, then click on the drop down arrow... all this just to get to the list and select |

You could replace the data|validation dropdown with a combobox from the Control
toolbox toolbar or a dropdown from the Forms toolbar. Personally, I like the ease of use of data|validation. To make sure that the users know that they have to enter a value in a cell, I'll use a fill color of light yellow.
