Hi Lynnskin:

In order to use a "combo box", you must first create a list of items
somewhere on your sheet (each item in a separate cell). The list must be on
the same sheet as the cell(s) that use it OR you can build your list later in
the dialog box referred to below:

1) Go to DataValidation and select "List" from the choices.
2a) If you have a list on your worksheet, specify the range of cells where
it is located OR
2b) Type the items for your list into the Range field separating each one
from the next by a comma.

Hope this helps
