Multiple Drop Down List

How do I create a drop down list for selection.

If I want the following in my drop down lists:-
For Column C Row 3 to 7
89901 Blue Strips 1"
89902 Blue Strips 2"
90001 Red Strips 1"
90002 Red Strips 2"

and Column E Row 3 to 7

S0001 XSmall
S0002 Small
S0003 Large
S0004 XLarge

Say if I select 89902 Blue Strips 2" and S0003 Large from Column C and E
drop down lists and only want 89902 and S0003 to appear in the respective
columns.

Tiger,

You can use the worksheet change event: copy this code, right-click the sheet tab, select "View
Code" and paste the code in the window that appears.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("C3:C7, E3:E7")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = Left(Target.Value, 5)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

HTH,
