selection box
I am working with a spreadsheet a predecessor made. It has what appears to
be a drop down box in one spreadsheet which places the value selected in another sheet. The cell where the data shows up does not have a formula associated with it. The drop down box does not look like the standard validation drop down box. It shows the last selection and has a large down arrow that is always displayed. I checked the sheet for macro's and did not find any. I would think one of the other posts may cover this but I am not sure what "category" to search for since it is not acting like a validation. thanks for the help |

Combo Box, List Box?
Open the Control Toolbox Toolbar. click on "design mode" then click on the drop-down and get its properties. Or maybe it is from the Forms Toolbar. No "design mode" step on the Forms Toolbar. Just right-click on the drop-down. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Tue, 6 Dec 2005 12:03:04 -0800, "bhengineer" wrote: I am working with a spreadsheet a predecessor made.

Thank you very much. It was an "embed forms combo box 1" I was able to edit
it and add what I needed. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Combo Box, List Box? Open the Control Toolbox Toolbar. click on "design mode" then click on the drop-down and get its properties.
