Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

How about an alternative?

Instead of a combobox, use a couple of optionbuttons from the Forms toolbar.

If you have to add more than 2 optionbuttons to that worksheet, you have to put
each pair of optionbuttons it their own GroupBox (also on the Forms toolbar).

In xl2003 menus, you can show the Forms toolbar:
View|Toolbars|check Forms

When I insert a group table and 2 checkboxs into it, could you please tell me
what to do next in order to able select Yes / No only on testing?
Thank everyone very much for any suggestions

I don't understand.

Why would you only want to select the true or false just during testing? If you
don't want to give people a choice, then don't.

User should make his own selection on Yes/No, but when I create the radio
buttons within a group, one of the button must be selected, which will cause
some confusion for user, so I would like an option to unselected all buttons,
so user know that he needs to select Yes/No.
Do you have any suggestions for my case?

If the only options are yes/no, I screwed up with my recommendation. I should
have suggested that you use a checkbox from the Forms toolbar. It's either on
or off, yes or no. There's no need to display multiple items to get a single
value.

But if you want, you could provide a macro assigned to a button on the forms
toolbar that resets all the optionbuttons.

Option Explicit
Sub ResetAllOptionButtons()
activesheet.optionbuttons.value = false
End sub
