dropdown issue
Sorry, as I have asked this question before, but can no one help me? Having tried everything i can think of, i'm realy frustrated now. In my code i use .dropdown (dot dropdown) , but then i wish the dropdown list to 'close' once an item in the list has been selected. This behaves as expected if combobox is activated by a mouse click, but if ..dropdown is used the dropdown list does not close. I realy need a work around or something as my code relies heavily on this process. Please help - using excel 2000 Sub combodrop() ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Visible = True ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.AddItem "TEST" ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.DropDown ActiveSheet.ComboBox1.Visible = False End Sub Sunil |

dropdown issue
dropdown is for the user to select an item, but that clearly isn't required. You don't say clearly what it is you intend Sub combodrop() With ActiveSheet.ComboBox1 .Visible = True .AddItem "hello" .ListIndex = .ListCount - 1 .Visible = False End With End Sub "sunilpatel" wrote in message ...
