Drop-Down List
I want to be able to do something like autocomplete through code - eg...
a user clicks in a cell and starts typing, and excel provides a drop-down box with the mostly likely text. any suggestions? -- When you lose your mind, you free your life. |

Drop-Down List
Macros don't run when editing a cell - at least not for any practical
purpose. (I have seen a few useless demos to "prove a point"). The functionality you describe is inherent in a combobox from the control toolbox toolbar. You also might be able to wicker something in autoselect (but not using code). There is also the built in select from list, but this would only be germane if adding a value to the bottom of an existing list. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "ben" (remove this if mailing direct) wrote in message ...
