how can I extend my drop-down box length to include all the list?
 
I am wanting to be able to select a list and see all the choices, not just
the default of the first eight.

Any help?

Hi!

Use a combo box from the Forms toolbar. You can specify how many items to
display in the list.

You cannot extend a Data Validation drop-down above the 8 choices.

You can use a ComboBox of much greater height to get more in view.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for info on this.

Thanks, Biff!

I didn't think to use a combo box. It will work out fine :)
