Thanks Mike,

I'm still a little confused about what to call my sub if I want to
initialize ListBox1 control. Here is my code:

Sub UserForm_Initialize()

Dim looper As Integer

looper = 1 'Starting number to fill listbox
Do While looper <= 16
ListBox1.AddItem (looper)
looper = looper + 1
Loop

End Sub


Also, in my tests, I loaded the listbox from a static range and it appeared
fine. I could see the rows and could select the proper row. I used the
up/down arrow buttons to position myself to a specific row, but I had to
actually go into the contents window and manually select the row in order for
the listbox control to select that data.

Is there any way (or another control) that will allow me to just select the
row in the list by simply using the up/down arrows

I have to solicit two pieces of information (both pieces will be selections
from a small list) and then run a macro. I'd prefer to make this obvious
instead of doing the crtl-key to run the macro, because an inexperienced user
will be running it.

What is the best way to do this? Should I create a form? Can I customize
the form (colors? pictures? buttons?). Other ways?
