Hi,
Do the following:
1. Select the range with the dropdown list in the worksheet.
2. On the Data menu, click Validation.
3. Under validation Criteria, click "Any Value" from the "Allow" list.
Note: If the "Allow" list displays "List" and your Source" text box displays
the selected range, then change the selection in the Allow list to "Any Value"
4. Click Ok.
Challa Prabhu
