hi,

i have a form dropdown/combobox. i would like to know how to use a named
range as the listfillrange. i know how to specify something like H12:H45 but
when i type the name of a named/defined range it does not work.

thanks in advance,
geebee

Maybe

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
For Each N In ActiveWorkbook.Names
ComboBox1.AddItem (N.Name)
Next
End Sub

ComboBox1.AddItem (N)
would add the address of the named range

ComboBox1.AddItem (N.Name) & N
would add the name and address

When you say "form dropdown/combobox", you mean a ComboBox on a UserForm,
right? If so, I cannot duplicate your problem... when I type the defined
Name into the RowSource property in the Properties window, it properly
assigns the defined range for that Name to the control.

if you mean in code, you have to do it like this:

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.ComboBox1.RowSource = Range("test2").Address
End Sub
