Default combobox

Add a combobox from the forms toolbar, right-click to go to properties, and
in the Control tab set the input range to A1:A500.

..Controlsource is the linked cell -- just one cell.

Try changing the .rowsource property.

No, controlsource is a single cell where the selected value returns.

You need to set the Rowsource property to those 500 cells.
