Is there a way when cell selected with small arrow button that the list range
will allways show from the top of list range and not from last selection
within the list range

lists generally show the selected item -- if you clear the cell, the the kist
will show the items top-down
You can use the selection change event to clear the cell.
In this example, cell B6 is data validated. When I select it, the event
fires, clearing the cell's value, making the list start from the first item

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$B$7" Then
Target.Value = ""
End If
End Sub

The following code is similar, but instead of clearing the cell, sets its
value to the first item in the list (range named 'MyList')- a default value
if you will:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
If Target.Address = "$B$7" Then
Set cell =
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Item("MyList").RefersToRange. Range("A1")
Target.Value = cell.Value
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cell As Range
If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
Set cell = ActiveWorkbook.Names. _
Item("Cus").RefersToRange.Range("A1")
Target.Value = cell.Value
End If

This will allways display the first name in my list named "Cus" never
allowing a change.
The code causes a lockup for about 6 sec.
The other code allways leaves B2 empty and appears to cycle for 2 sec.
because the cell is in the corner of the worksheet I might be able to place
a clear box under B2 so that when the mouse passes over it clears B2 or at
least selects first name in Cus list.
What do you think?

Guess what happens when the mouse runs away.
I think were both using the same oar
