I have the following code copied from a previous response which is
exactly the solution I need; however, I got the run time error of
"unable to set the ListIndex property of the DropDown class" Could
anyone provide help? Thanks in advance.

Option Explicit
Sub ddMstr()

Dim dd As DropDown
Dim dd1 As DropDown

Set dd = ActiveSheet.DropDowns(Application.Caller)

With dd
If .ListIndex 0 Then
MsgBox Range(.ListFillRange)(.ListIndex)
Set dd1 = ActiveSheet.DropDowns("drop down 2")
dd1.ListIndex = 0
dd1.ListFillRange = Worksheets("MyChoices").Range("list" _
& dd.ListIndex).Address(external:=True)
End If
End With
End Sub


Sub ddSub()
Dim dd As DropDown
Set dd = ActiveSheet.DropDowns(Application.Caller)

With dd
If .ListIndex 0 Then
MsgBox Range(.ListFillRange)(.ListIndex)
End If
End With
End Sub

Is this something I gave you?

think two statements are out of order. Try changing

dd1.ListIndex = 0
dd1.ListFillRange = Worksheets("MyChoices").Range("list" _
& dd.ListIndex).Address(external:=True)

to

dd1.ListFillRange = Worksheets("MyChoices").Range("list" _
& dd.ListIndex).Address(external:=True)
dd1.ListIndex = 0

Thanks. It works perfectly now

I've spoken it too soon....

I've just discovered the vlookup function will not help displaying the
correct selection made on the 2nd drop down. I guess the solution is
to display the text on a cell and use vlookup function to match it
properly. Could anyone help me with the code required to display the
text when the selection is made in this case. Thanks in advance.
