Input box to update combo box
I have a combo box with several choices in it including "other". I would
like to make it so that when the "other" option is selected, an input box appears. When the user types in the details and presses enter, I want the stuff they've typed to show as the selection in the combo box. If that can't be done, then I'd like the input box to update a text box below the combo box with the inputted data. How to? |

Private Sub Combobox1_Click()
if Combobox1.Value = "Other" then res = Inputbox("enter special selection") if res < "" then combobox1.Value = res End if End if End Sub Make sure the style of the combobox is fmStyleDropDownCombo This is the default, so if you haven't changed it you should be OK. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "HFB" wrote in message ... yes "Chip" wrote: do you know how to make a userform? |

Does this solution add the new text to the drop down menu? so that next time
you use the combobox that value will be present? "HFB" wrote: BEAUTIFUL!
