MLP,

I am not really sure if you can do what you are asking or not, but one
option might be to make another list that refers to your first list but
ignores the blank cells or places them at the end of the list. Use something
like the "small" or "large" worksheet function for this (see the help file
for more info). Then have the dropdown box refer to this list instead of the
first list. This would not remove the blanks from your list but it would at
least put them all at the end (or beginning depending on which function you
use to sort your list).

Sorry I can't help you more directly,

Brandt

going to have values in every cell in the range/list. I need to know how to
set up the drop down so that it only returns values and ignores the blank
cells in the range.
