maximum number of Right-click options
 

I want to use the right click function to allow a user to select a machine
code. There are 48 machine codes but when I write the code it only displays
25 in the right-click menu, is there a way beyond this limitation?

If not, what are my other options?

I would put a combobox dropdown on the right-click menu. E.g.,


Sub AAA()

Dim Ctrl As Office.CommandBarComboBox
Set Ctrl = Application.CommandBars("Cell").Controls.Add( _
Type:=msoControlComboBox, temporary:=True)
With Ctrl
..Caption = "Machine ID"
..AddItem "A"
..AddItem "B"
..AddItem "C"
..OnAction = "DoMachine"
End With

End Sub

Sub DoMachine()

With Application.CommandBars.ActionControl
ActiveCell.Value = .List(.ListIndex)
End With

End Sub

That worked nicely, thank you. Since this is the only item on the right
click menu is there a way to automatically expand the combo box so it shows
the list as if the user has already clicked on the down arrow?

I don't believe this is possible.
