Default Data Validation & Drop Down Boxes

I used data validation €¦selected the option for use of a drop dwon
box€¦selected the option to tie to the list so no other data could be entered
except what was in the list. Went along and did other work in the file€¦now
I've gone back and my drop down boxes are missing! You can still only eneter
the data that I allowed from the list but no drop down box shows???

Please help I need my user to see those drop down boxes!

Default Data Validation & Drop Down Boxes

After further looking, it appears it may have something to to do the
formatting maybe ??? I have other worksheets in the workbook that use the
same type of validation & boxes and they are working. It's just that the
boxes are showing on this page (even when you highlite them)
