Goto a control element
 

I want to include a line in my VBA macro that will select a combo box, but I
don't know how to address it to put it into focus.

Can I name it? Or is there another way to handle it. An example would be
very much appreciated.

Goto a control element
 

Where is the combobox located. Worksheet, userform, dialogsheet

control toolbox toolbar combobox or one from the forms toolbar. If from the
data validation option, then just select the cell.

Goto a control element
 

The combo box is located on a worksheet - and is an element selected from the
toolbar.

Goto a control element
 

Activesheet.Combobox1.Activate

or

Appreciate this help, Tom. Thank you.

Can you tell me how to identify the object names (like Combobox1)

Try selecting it (in design mode--another icon on that control toolbox toolbar).

Then look at the namebox (to the left of the formulabar).
