How can i replace the use of an Input box where the user is prompted to
type info with a form that has a dropdown list of appropriate items?
I've never created the userforms before, is there an easy way to get
this done?

thanks,
sean

Hi Sean

Simply create a Userform (Insert-- Userform), and then use a ComboBox control. Afterwards you can populate the Combobox using the .AddItem method

the user form is looking good.
however, i am unclear about how to add items to it. I want to use a
list of items stored within cells of a worksheet.

thanks,
sean
