multi selection list as text?
 

Is it possible to create a list in a cell that allows for multiple
selections and then shows these selections in the cell as plain text? This
works fine as a single selection but I have not been able to get it to work
as a "list box" or a "combo box". Don't get me wrong I can make the
selections but they are not placed in the cell as text (So that I can't cut
and paste)

You can't link a multiselect listbox to a cell so that the cell displays the
multiple selections. You can use event code to loop through the list and
built a string of selected items, then write that to the cell.

Private Sub commandbutton1_click()
Dim i as long, msg as string
with me.Listbox1
for i = 0 to .listcount -1
if .selected(i) then
msg = msg & .list(i) & vbLf
end if
Next
End with
Activesheet.Range("B9").Value = msg
end Sub

The concept of a multselect combobox escapes me.
