Combo Box

G

Gail

I have created a Combo Box from the Control Toolbox. It reads it's list from
a named list on another worksheet. I do not want the user to be able to input
information in the combo box so I have changed the Style to
"StyleDropDownList." My question is: Can I also have default text appear in
the combo box? When the user views the combo box on the form I would like the
box to say "select below" as the default - and then they use the arrow to
find their choice. How do I do this?

Include that string as one of the values in the combobox's list (.listfillrange
property, right?).

Make sure that the .value property is that same string.

Have you thought about just using a cell on the worksheet for the instructions?
