    Use Combobox List Instead Of Data Validation Dropdown List

    Hello

    Depending on the finished worksheet I find that sometime the data validation list becomes almost unreadable due to size of letters.If I require a control form button such as a combobox will that work as well in the same way as a DV dropdown list?
    How do i use a combobox for the dropdown menu instead of a DV dropdown menu

    Can this be done

    Regards
    RegC

    Here is a link to a Debra Dalgleish tutorial on using a combo box instead of DV. Good luck with your project.
    I have also change your combo box in the attached to an Active X linked to the appropriate cells as Debra explained.
