Default excel combo box

I want a control with a pulldown there will be 3 or 4 values all known at
design time.

If I use a combobox how do I prevent someone typeing into the box?

How do I add the values to the box?

Thanks

Is this on a worksheet? Why not use Data | Validation | List ?? Much
easier to control there.

Default excel combo box

It is on a userform not on the spreadsheet. I am adding the items now at
runtime but how do I prevent a user from typing in a value??


With Me.cmbSource
.AddItem "Item 1"
.AddItem "Item 2"
.AddItem "Item 3"
End With

Thanks
Mike
