Drop down lists!!

Posted by Jamal Davis on November 05, 2001 12:40 PM
I am using drop down lists with a linked cell. I want to make around 1,000 -2,000 identical drop down boxes. However, I want each box to have a DIFFERENT cell link (A1, A2, A3, A4, etc). When you copy and paste cell boxes it keeps the same CELL LINK on the properties page for each box. I don't want to have to go in and change each one. Is there a way I can go around this???

Befuddled.

Programmatically, after you've created all the dropdown boxes. Manually there's no easy way.

if you right click on the dropdown box the cell link will be in the formula bar. this should save you a couple clicks.
