Forms ComboBox
 

Hi, I know how to find the cell address of a given vb combobox and the
set the offset....
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("combobox 1").TopLeftCell.Offset(0, 1 + i)

But how do you do this for a form ComboBox?
I have tried declaring a combobox object but there is no TopLeftCell
do you have to use the linked cell property and then change th
activecell property?

Thank

This worked ok for me:

Dim myDD As DropDown
Set myDD = ActiveSheet.DropDowns("Drop Down 1")
MsgBox myDD.TopLeftCell.Address

Hi, thanks for the reply but it doesn't work for me.
I get the following error:
unable to get the DropDowns property of the worksheet class

Also when I try and replace DropDown with ComboBox I get the following
error:
object doesn't support this property or method.

I would bet that the dropdown isn't named "drop down 1".

If you select it and look in the name box (to the left of the formula bar),
you'll see the name.

This'll work depending on how the code is called.
