Yes, kind of....
Make sure the code window of the worksheet you want is open. Click the drop down at the top left and select you combo box. You will get the default event inserted for you, which _Change, I think. So now click the top right drop down and select Click.

You can run code from that event. NickHK "pogo" wrote in message ... please someone, i have been learning excel and working on this for months and months. i am so frustrated.!!!!! My problem is this. in my excel sheet, i have cell af16 control many different functions depending on what a person would type into cell af16. people cant spell right(including myself) so therefore i am trying to use a combo box from the control toolbar. I have tried the forms combo box and data validation and the font is too small and it doesnt look right. My idea is to choose from a list that i created in cells au822:au846( example of list =m,inl,hol,office etc) each of these words when placed into cell af16 activates functions which control the calculations on the rest of the sheet. I have created the combol box and the list comes up beautifully(list fill), and the cell linked is af16 which DOES take the word from the drop down list and populates cell af16 with that word. The problem is thats all it does I cant get the word to activate the functions as if I were to actually type the word into af16( which makes it work). I know its code and am stuck, if someone can help with this code I will dedicate so much time to learning excel and then return the help on this forum. |
