Data Validation - Combo Box open with single click

G

GoBucks

I am looking for assisitance in combining the functionality of two seperate
combo box code sets. The first combo box code set allows the combo box to
automaticially appear when a user Clicks on a cell that contains a data
validation list. The second set of code will have a combo box appear when a
user Double-clicks on a cell that contains a data validation list. And the
code allows for Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet.

I would like to have the functionality of having the combo box to appear
when a user Clicks on a cell and not having to Double-click. Also, I would
like to have the option to use Named Ranges on a seperate worksheet
("Validation Lists").

I would appreciate any assistance that can be given. Thank you! The code for
both sets is listed below.

Data Validation -- Combo box -- Click

Set cboTemp = ws.OLEObjects("TempCombo")
On Error Resume Next
If cboTemp.Visible = True Then

.Top = 10
.Left = 10
.ListFillRange = ""
.LinkedCell = ""

'if the cell contains a data validation list
