Combobox Affix to Cell
 
Hello. Is there a way to affix ComboBox from the forms toolbar to a given
cell?

Dave Peterson

The Dropdown/combobox from the Forms toolbar floats over the worksheet
cells--just like every other shape.

But if you put the dropdown completely in the cell, you can right click on it,
then choose Format|Control|properties tab and make sure "Move but don't size
with cells" is checked.

Have you thought about using Data|Validation?

It might be easier to get what you want done.
