Yve,

If you want to do that, they must be included in the list as options.

Otherwise, use multiple cells and concatenate the values into one string.

HTH,

Download a sample workbook from Debra Dalgleish's site.

Note that you can have the selections in an adjacent cell or in the same
cell.

You will have to edit the delimiter in the event code.

Change ", " to ";"
