Drop-Down Menus in Data Entry Form?
I have a drop-down menu containing the months of the year in my
spreadsheet. I want to train people to enter data using the data entry form (Data -- Form). Is there any way to make this drop-down menu appear in the data entry form? |

You could create a macro that displays the data|form dialog.
But when would you want to run that macro? When the workbook opens? When the worksheet is activated? Only when the user wants to see it? The line of code could be as simple as: ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm " wrote: I have a drop-down menu containing the months of the year in my spreadsheet.

You can't show a data validation list in the standard data form.
If you can use add-ins, you could try John Walkenbach's Enhanced Data Form. It's a free add-in that allows combo boxes, so it could display a list of items. http://j-walk.com/ss/dataform/index.htm wrote: I have a drop-down menu containing the months of the year in my spreadsheet.
