Default Validation Drop Down Box

The Data Validation dialog Settings tab has a check box for "In-cell dropdown"
Has that got unchecked on the problem sheet?

Default Validation Drop Down Box

Thanks, but no it is checked. Weird I have got round it by copying the sheet
contents into a new sheet, but then ad to re-do the linkages which was what I
was trying to avoid. In my workbook I have 15 sheets with dropdowns, all
sheets are fine excpet this one. I presume it is a page format issue, but I
cannot see any difference between the sheets
