Go to the VBE (Alt-F11)
Insert a userform (InsertUserform)
Make Sure the toolbox is viewable (ViewToolbox)
Drag a combobox control off of the toolbox onto the form

Populate the DD in code with something Like

Private Sub Userform_Activate()

With Me.ComboBox1
.AddItem "Text1"
.AddItem "Text2"
'.. etc
End With

End Sub

and that's just the start

What do you mean by a form?

Do you mean setup a worksheet to use as a form?
If yes, look at Debra Dalgleish's site for Data|Validation
http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html
(easy to create and use)

If you mean a userform, you can look at some getstarted notes also on Deb's
site:
http://www.contextures.com/xlUserForm01.html
and it includes a link to Microsoft:
