Default How can I allow a user to select more than 1 drop down item?

For instance: all the states are listed
AZ,CA,CO,CT,DE,FL,GA,HI,IA,ID,IL,IN,KS,KY,LA,MA,MD ,ME,MI,MN,MO,MS,MT,NC,ND,NE,NH,NJ,NM,NV,NY,OH,OK,O R,PA,RI,SC,SD,TN,TX,UT,VA,VT,WA,WI,WV,WY

I want them to be able to choose more than one selection. What is the best
way to do so?

Thanks, I'd forgotten a few.

You can set the multiselect property of the control (either forms toolbar or
controls toolbox) to either of the multiple selection options. You cannot
extract the selections in a multi-select list to the worksheet without using
VBA.

You could use event code to do the job.

Debra Dalgleish has a sample workbook download with code.

(http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html)

Scroll down the page and "Select Mulitple
Items from a drop down list"
