I followed the directions on 2007 help in Excel, but then it said, that I
couldn't link the cells or do anything further without VBA code. Please let me know how to make this multiple selection list box (Active X) work. |

The reason you can't link to a cell is because it is a multiple selection
ListBox. The problem is the user might select more than one item in the ListBox... which of those items would you expect Excel to put in a linked cell (assuming it could do that)? The first item in the list? The first item the user clicked? All of them concatenated together? Whatever it might have attempted to do, how would it know it was time to do it (that is, how would it know the user was done selecting items)? There is no right answer here (as far as Excel is concerned), so it leaves it up to you to use the VBA interface to craft your (re)action according to your own needs. As to how to make it work... that depends on what it is you want it to do. Can you describe what your ultimate goal is? -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "mateo303" wrote in message ...
