Default Combo Box mandatory selection


Hi,

I have a Combo Box (added through the Control Toolbox) that I want t
be mandatory, i.e. it must always contain one of the values reference
in the ListFillRange. Currently I can select one of the values, but
can then overtype it with something else not in the list, or remove i
completely.

What is the best way to achieve this? I can do it easily using a Comb
Box from the Forms toolbar but I want to do some additional processin
on selection of a valid entry so I really need the Combo_Chang
subroutine.

To give a better idea of the overall picture, imagine a spreadshee
that has the Combo Box with values "Price List A" and "Price List B".
According to this selection, a named range will be amended using:

Code
-------------------
If Combo.Value = "A" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Names("pricelist").RefersTo = "=prices!$A$1:$B$10"
ElseIf Combo.Value = "B" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Names("pricelist").RefersTo = "=prices!$D$1:$E$10"
End If

-------------------

All subsequent lookup functions in the sheets can then use this name
range to look up the correct values.

What I want to avoid is the user typing in a random value or a blan
that the above code can't handle (ignoring for the moment the use of
catch-all Else at the end)

Thanks in advance,
Vindalo
