ExcelBanter - Dropdown

I have a question regarding the following code:

Private Sub EmpName_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim str As String
Dim cboTemp As OLEObject
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wsList As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set wsList = Sheets("2007 Manpower")

Cancel = True
Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("EmpName")
On Error Resume Next
With cboTemp
'clear and hide the combo box
.ListFillRange = ""
.LinkedCell = ""
.Visible = False
End With
On Error GoTo errHandler
If Target.Validation.Type = 3 Then
'if the cell contains a data validation list
Application.EnableEvents = False
'get the data validation formula
str = Target.Validation.Formula1
str = Right(str, Len(str) - 1)
With cboTemp
'show the combobox with the list
.Visible = True
.Left = Target.Left
.Top = Target.Top
.Width = Target.Width + 5
.Height = Target.Height + 5
.ListFillRange = str
.LinkedCell = Target.Address
End With
cboTemp.Activate
End If

errHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim str As String
Dim cboTemp As OLEObject
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("EmpName")
On Error Resume Next
With cboTemp
.Top = 10
.Left = 10
.Width = 0
.ListFillRange = ""
.LinkedCell = ""
.Visible = False
.Value = ""
End With

errHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

'Optional code to move to next cell if Tab or Enter are pressed
'from code by Ted Lanham
Private Sub TempCombo_KeyDown(ByVal _
KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
Case 9 'Tab
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Activate
Case 13 'Enter
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Activate
Case Else
'do nothing
End Select
End Sub

This works great except for one problem, once I have this code, it ruins
another macro I have set up. The other macro is designed to copy a set of
rows and paste them in. Essentially adding a job to our Manpower tracking.
After the above code is placed in the worksheet, it disables the ability to
copy and past. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Data validation doesn't support autocomplete. There are instructions
here for adding a combobox from which you can select one of the values
from the data validation list. In the combobox, you can enable
autocomplete:

How do I get my dropdown (done with Data validation) to jump to the section,
I have around 2000 entries and I need it to work so that if I hit "S" it
jumps to the sections starting with that but if I type "sol" it will go to
entries starting with SOL.

Thanks
